An early movie camera and projector device that could both record and show films.
From French 'cinématographe,' combining Greek 'kinēma' (movement) + 'graphia' (writing/recording). The Lumière brothers patented this device in 1894 as a machine that could film and project moving pictures.
The cinematograph was basically the grandfather of all movie cameras and projectors—when the Lumière brothers first showed a film of a train arriving at a station in 1895, audiences literally screamed because they'd never seen moving pictures before!
