Machines 40 The motion picture operator of 40 years ago, working with hand-painted plates and a magic lantern, carned every cent he got. He was able to give an impression ot continuous motion, but in order to do so had to move his plates with their curlous mechanical devices by hand 16 times a second. now the normal rate of exposure of the motion picture cam- era A collection of these curious old magic lantern slides constructed to give the impression of natural motion has just been received by the division of photography of the Smithsonian Insti- tution. All the slides were made of comic subjects and came the nearest to real motion pictures known to the nast generation Pictures Shown by Slides. " One of the slides represents a man carving a roast pig. which suddenly mmps up and bites the man on the nose. The effect was produced by two <lides moving across each other — The first showed the man carving the pig an the platter. The second showed the piz biting the man. By pushing the cncond slide across the first one every 16 soconds the operator was able to produce an impression of action Another slide depicted a woman on a cantering horse. the cantering effect being produced by moving the slide up and down by means of a handlc Another showed a Jirl jumping Top°. the rope being painted both over the girl's head and under her feet. The ! slide was operated by a crank which | first threw a black screen over one part of the rope and then of the other so that it looked on the screen as if it continually were whirling around her body. Such slides. according to A. J. Olm- stead. head of the division of photo- araphy. were considered marvelous con- trivances in their time and were used by hundreds of lecturers, who did not | dreara of the remarkable development in the idea of motion picture projection ' that was duc to come in a generation In very few cases. Mr. Olmstead be- lieves, was the operator agile enough to create an impression of rehlly contin- ous movement, smce it was next to a physical impossibility to move his hand 16 times a second unless it was simply a short up-and-down motion. as in the case of the girl jumping the rope or the woman on the cantering horse Officers Transferred.
