none Events in 1876 in animation. Events November 9: The English inventor Wordsworth Donisthorpe files a patent for a film camera, which he named a "kinesigraph."Herbert Stephen Coe Brian 2000 Who's Who of Victorian Cinema http://www.victorian-cinema.net/donisthorpe.htm 2009-05-10 The camera would have a mechanism to move photographic plates one by one past a lens and shutter to be exposed for the necessary time and then dropped or carried into a receiver. The recorded images would be printed at equal distances apart on a strip of paper. The strip was to be wound between cylinders and carried past the eye of the observer, with a stroboscopic device to expose each picture momentarily. Such photographic strips only became commercially available several years later and Donisthorpe seems to have been unable to produce motion pictures at this stage.https://books.google.com/books?id=mgc_x5ph3sEC&q=kin%C3%A9tiscope&pg=PA33 Industry, Liberty, and a Vision: Wordsworth Donisthorpe's Kinesigraph Herbert Stephen 1998 The Projection Box 978-0-9523941-3-6 en Donisthorpe reportedly produced a model of this camera around the late 1870s.https://books.google.com/books?id=TVVXAAAAIAAJ&q=Donisthorpe Cinema Studies 1960 In 1889, Donisthorpe completed his work on an improved version of the camera and the projector necessary to show the motion frames.Herbert S.
