in 1895 Charles Francis Jenkins and Thomas Armat publicly demonstrated an image projection device at the Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia that they called the "Phantoscope." This Prototype of modern Film projectors cast images onto a wall or screen for a moderately large audience. The pair of inventors, heady with the scent of success, became at odds with one another and began fighting over credit for the invention. Armat, armed with legal authority, independently shopped the Phantoscope to The Kinetoscope Company . The company realized that their Kinetoscope would soon be a thing of the past with the rapid advancing proliferation of Early Cinematic Engineering . They were very interested in this newest Magic Lantern and approached Thomas Edison to finance the manufacture of the instrument. Edison agreed to the deal on one condition: in classic Edison style, he would henceforth be credited with the invention of the machine that he renamed the "Vitascope". {Link without Title} Edison's involvement soon extended to Film production for the projector in the new Edison Movie Studio , Edison's Black Maria .
