Cinematographe
The cinematograph or Lumiére Cinématographe was an early type film projector, an all-in-one camera, projector and developer, circa 1895.
Several versions of cinematographs were developed including ones by Robert Royou Beard , Cecil Wray , Georges Demenÿ , and Alfred Wrench , culminationg with the Cinématographe of Louis Lumière. [1].
Discussion of the early film history is riddled with references to "the invention of the Cinematograph" which is often found attributed to the Lumières -- pioneers of publicity and show business as well as film and technology. Although the all-in-one Lumière Cinématographe was a remarkable development in the history of cinema, it was concurrently designed and engineered by many competing inventors, all wishing to lay claim to the "first."
