A cache and Dash with History

Cache container relates to the typical view of "Edison"

Thomas Edison held a record 1,093 patents for his inventions, this series visits a few of the less known inventions he made

Thomas Edison

While there has been speculation that Edison's interest in motion pictures began before 1888, the visit of Eadweard Muybridge to the inventor's laboratory in West Orange in February of that year certainly stimulated Edison's resolve to invent a motion picture camera.

Muybridge proposed that they collaborate and combine the Zoopraxiscope with the Edison phonograph. Although apparently intrigued, Edison decided not to participate in such a partnership, perhaps realizing that the Zoopraxiscope was not a very practical or efficient way of recording motion.

In an attempt to protect his future inventions, Edison filed a caveat with the Patents Office on October 17, 1888,
describing his ideas for a device which would "do for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear" record and reproduce objects in motion.

Edison called the invention a Kinetoscope, using the Greek words "kineto" meaning "movement" and "scopos" meaning "to watch."
