Kinetoscope

Japanese: キネトスコープ(英語表記)Kinetoscope
Kinetoscope
This is the trademark name for a type of film projector invented by American inventor Thomas Edison in 1891, which gave birth to cinema. A 12.2-meter-long film, invented the previous year by G. Eastman, was rotated by an automatic device and viewed from above through a magnifying glass, shining the light of a light bulb below. This "peep film" could only be viewed by one person, but it was quickly adopted for film shows and gained popularity. Eventually, the Cinématographe, which projected a large image and entertained a large audience at the same time, was released in 1895, and the Vitagraph in 1896. These were commercialized and became the basis for the development of the film industry.

1891年アメリカの発明王 T.エジソンが創案した映写機の一種の商標名で,これによって映画が誕生した。その前年 G.イーストマンによって考案された長さ 12.2mのフィルムを,自動装置でぐるぐる回し,下にある電球の光に透かして,上から拡大鏡でのぞくようになっている。この「のぞき映画」は1人しか見られないが,たちまち興行用に採用されて人気を集めた。やがて 95年,大きく投影して多数の観衆を同時に楽しませるシネマトグラフ Cinématographe,96年にバイタグラフ Vitagraphが公開され,企業化されて映画事業発展の基礎となった。
