The Phantascope was a film projection machine, a creation of Charles Francis Jenkins. Created in the early 1890's and with Thomas Armat the two men improved the invention. The two inventors unveiled their projector at the Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, in September 1895. The U.S. Patent Office granted Jenkins and Armat the patent. Jenkins later sold his part to Armat who sold the whole patent to Thomas Alva Edison.
