Moving Pictures at Home by Italian Inventor Bettini
Italian inventor Gianni Bettini has perfected a device enabling amateurs to create moving pictures on glass plates. The lens moves while the plate remains fixed, producing twelve or more frames per second with 676 images per plate. Cost per run plate is four cents versus $1.50 for film, and Bettini’s camera sells for under a third of standard moving picture cameras.
