Léon Bouly

Léon Guillaume Bouly (French: [buli]; 1872–1932) was a French inventor who created the word cinematograph.

Cinematograph

After devising chronophotography devices, Bouly applied a patent on a reversible device of photography and optics for the analysis and synthesis of motions, calling it the Cynématographe Léon Bouly on February 12, 1892. On December 27, 1893, he shortened his device name to cinématographe.

This device is able to both shoot and project film. It uses a sensible film without perforations and all principles required by cinematography are available: most notably, the film's jerky movement through the camera's gate is synchronized with the shutter. Two of these devices are conserved in the French Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers.

In 1894, Bouly could not pay the fees for his patents and the name "cinématographe" became available again. He sold his rights to the device and its name to the Lumière Brothers, who applied it to their own device in 1895.

gollark: I have some code doing this```lualocal function fetch(url, data) local res, err = net.request(url, json.encode(data), { ["Content-Type"] = "application/json" }) if not res then error(url .. " error: " .. err) end local out = {} while true do local chunk, err = res.read() if err then error(url .. " error: " .. err) end if chunk then table.insert(out, chunk) else return table.concat(out) end endend```but it never appears to `computer.pullSignal` at all, so my accursed bare-metal multithreading thing™ doesn't work.

gollark: Is there a way to do `internet.request` (with an internet card) and anything else whatsoever concurrently?

gollark: OC2 should have hard disk firmware so people can write rootkits for it.

gollark: So GHC?

gollark: I think reactor stuff just works directly as a peripheral. Fusion reactors do anyway.
