How Penny Movies Worked in the 1800s 🎞️😳
Description:
Drop in a penny, turn a crank, and a stack of photos plays like a movie. 🎞️😳 This 1800s machine, called a Mutoscope, held hundreds of photo cards, and the penny did more than pay for the show.
In this fast-paced 3D animated breakdown, watch the penny fall between two plates and get pushed by a metal arm, releasing a gear that spins the reel. Then see the cards snap off a metal bar, flip past the peephole, and play together as a single movie under a lamp.
