NOTES:
  "An English Company, Kinora Ltd, revived the flip-book idea introduced
  in the earlier Lumière apparatus of the same name, in a form
  particularly suited to the home. The Kinora system won a silver medal
  on its introduction at the Franco-British Exhibition at the White City
  in London in 1908. As well as providing flip-book reels printed from
  professionally shot films, Kinora Ltd supplied a camera in which rolls
  of 1-inch (25.4mm) paper or celluloid could be exposed by the
  amateur. The exposed negative films were processed and printed by
  Kinora and made into reels which were available in a number of forms
  for the Kinora viewers, from very cheap, basic hand-turned models to
  elaborate versions mounted on ornate pedestals and driven by
  clockwork. The Kinora system remained on the market for some years
  and enjoyed a modest success." (Coe, 1981).
