Edison's First Movie Machine, the Kinetoscope

Edison's First Movie Machine, the Kinetoscope, was a Talkie'. In 1886 the clockwork turned one shaft causing the small pictures to seem to move when viewed through the magnifying glass. Simultaneously, the synchronized sounds could be heard through earphones from the wax record at the right of the film. - (BSLOC_2014_17_118)
