square the time were making the kinetoscope. New models were built that used 3/4- inch wide
films with 1/2-inch square images; Dickson was slowly working
toward best format for the film which combined the desirable
mechanical and photographic properties. Dickson recalled that led Edison the new
photographic building and there the machine produced image
of Dickson, four foot five foot, while phonograph played
the message: "Good Morning Mr."
The development work the kinetoscope continued through
1890, aided better film strip and mechanical improvements in
the machine.
Dickson also experimented with tachyscope which enabled him
to project images. I
hope that you are satisfied with the kineto-phonograph. Many would deny Edison the priority this
invention but there can little doubt that Edison saw the
possibilities projecting image and devoted experiments to
it. Edison, glad see you back. His first caveat October 1888 mentioned that "the

celluloid film produced the Blair Company was best suited to
moving pictures. The ore milling project
