Marque : "The Kinora. Patented throughout the world by Kinora Ltd., London".
Au catalogue Kinora de 1908, ce modèle est le n° 5 (vendu à cette époque £ 6,6).
"Although the British Mutoscope and Biograph Co. (a film production and exhibition company ; an offshoot of the American Mutoscope and Biograph Co., owners of Casler's related patent) had purchased the rights in the Lumière Kinora as early as June 1898, it was not until 1902 that the device appeared on the British market. One of the limitations of the original viewer was that only one person at at time could view the moving pictures. The idea of using multiple lenses, to facilitate viewing by more than one person, was patented in Britain by Elias B. Koopman, Managing Director of the British Mutoscope and Biograph Company Ltd. in 1901" (The Kinora, Motion pictures for the home 1896-1914, A history of the system, and a newly-compiled illustrated catalogue of Kinora reels, Barry Anthony, The third in a series of monographs on pre-cinema and early film, London, The Projection Box, 1996).
"Some Kinora Models exhibit the pictures to several spectators at a time. These have an internal automatic motor instead of being turned by hand. Model n° 2. Operated by clockwork, is made of mahogany with oxydized copper finish, has three lenses, and is richly embellished with gilt carving, price £ 5.0.0."
