Sixteen lens cinematographic camera, made by Louis Le Prince in Paris in 1887 (with electrical connections)
This camera took a series of pictures using 16 independent shutters, fired in sequence. The camera was probably only operated with a single glass plate, limiting the sequence to 16 images, although the patent outlines a complex mechanism involving two moving paper films.
