The Kinetoscope

Magic Lanterns used glass slides to project the images off of the slides, the images appeared to move with the use of levers. It was invented by Edison and Eadweard Muybridge. William Kennedy Laurie Dickson was given the task of inventing the Kinetoscope, this was because of his background as a photographer. People were then concerned of who should get the credit for inventing the Kinetoscope, most people argued that it was Dickson who made it and so he should get the credit for it.
