Re JW Hyatt[edit]

I've found one reference that says that Hyatt actually acquired the patent to what he termed 'celluloid' in 1868, from English chemist Alexander Parkes. (Parkes discovered 'Parkesine' in 1855 and patented it. It's the same substance. Parkes tried to manufacture 'parkesine' but that business failed ... in 1868.) It's possible that Hyatt indicated that he had invented the substance... he didn't. Check out Federal Reporter v. 207, 1914. p. 357-8, e.g. on Google books.

Saga of celluloid[edit]

That section, though copied with OTRS permission from http://dandreapicks.com/celluloid.html, was actually plagiarised by that website from Extraordinary origins of everyday things. Charles Panati - 1987. I've removed it, and it was redundant to Celluloid anyway. Fences&Windows 15:08, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
