Canada

This projector may have been used in Canada. Before 1905, cinema exhibitions were carried out by itinerant showmen in vaudeville houses and theatres, at country fairs, and in stores, halls, churches, etc. They usually formed part of the bill with other entertainments. By the end of 1905, permanent storefront "nickelodeons" had become the primary venue for film viewing in Canada.

Fonction

To project moving images.

Technique

Example of an early cinema film projector. Although the Edison company's "peep-show" type Kinetoscope (1893) was the first commercial system for viewing motion picture film, projection of an enlarged image was pioneered by others. Edison introduced the Projecting Kinetoscope in 1897 in response to this competition.
