Specification forming part of Reissued Letters Patent No. 12192, dated January 12, 1904. Original No. 589168, dated August 31, 1897. Reissue No. 12038, dated September 30, 1902.

In carrying out my invention I employ an apparatus for effecting by photography a representation suitable for reproduction of a scene including a moving object or objects comprising a means, such as a single camera, for intermittently projecting at such rapid rate as to result in persistence of vision images of successive positions of the object or objects in motion as observed from a fixed and single point of view, a sensitized tape-like film, and a means for so moving 123
