Their major contribution to cinema was the Cinématographe. It was the first satisfactory technology made for taking and projecting films, and its claw mechanism became the basis for most cine cameras. The claw mechanism was created based on the mechanism for the sewing machine. What made it different from Edison’s was the fact that it was compact and didn’t require electricity. You could take it anywhere and all you needed was a magic lantern lamphouse with a gas or limelight illuminant.
