  Combination camera, projector, printer. Invented by Rider Debedts, the
  Kinétographe used 35mm film with Edison perforations, in 100 foot
  lengths. It could be also used for direct viewing of the film. The
  intermittent motion is supplied by a wheel with three equally spaced
  teeth, which as it revolves, activates two other wheels sufficiently
  to replace one image with another.

  According to Cromer collection inventory, the apparatus was fabricated
  by Grimoin Sanson for Debedts.
