 * William Lincoln invented the first machine to view a motion picutre in 1867.
 * The Zoopraxiscope, also known as the “Wheel of Life,” was the first machine invented to view a motion picture.
 * Numerous inventors created very similar camras used to view a motion picture, but Louis Lumiere is well known for this even though he was not the first.
 * "What Lumiere invented was a portable motion-picture camera, film processing unit and projector called the Cinematographe, three functions covered in one invention."
 *  “The Cinematographe made motion pictures very popular, and it could be better be said that Lumiere's invention began the motion picture era.”
 *  “In 1895, Lumiere and his brother were the first to present projected, moving, photographic, pictures to a paying audience of more that one person.”
 *  “In 1891, the Edison company successfully demonstrated the Kinetoscope, which enabled one person at a time to view moving pictures.”
 *  “Later in 1896, Edison showed his improved Vitascope projector and it was the first commercially, successful, projector in the U.S..”
