Vitascope

The vitascope is the principal name now in use for moving picture machines. ❋ Paul Severing (N/A)

-- Numerous instruments have been devised to determine the rate of vibration of different materials and structures, the most important being the _vitascope_, which has a revolvable cylinder, blackened with soot, and this being rotated at a certain speed, the stylus, which is attached to the vibrating body, in contact with the cylinder, will show the number per second, as well as the particular character of each oscillation. ❋ J. S. Zerbe (N/A)

Of other moving pictures machines we have had the vitascope, vitagraph, magniscope, mutoscope, panoramagraph, theatograph and scores of others all derived from the two Greek roots _grapho_ I write and _scopeo_ I view. ❋ Paul Severing (N/A)

I'll invent the graphophone, the kodak, the vitascope, an 'Milliken's cough syrup an' a lot of other big modern inventions. ❋ Harold Steele MacKaye (1897)

Tibetans first called the cinema beskop, from "bioscope" one of the early terms for movies (as kinema, vitascope, etc.) and now apparently used only by South Africans, Nepalese and Tibetans. ❋ Unknown (2010)
