The accompanying cuts show the Elliott Cresson Gold Medal awarded by the Franklin Institute, of Philadelphia, for a machine exhibited before the Institute in 1895 by Mr. C. Francis Jenkins. Later, in making a second award, that of the John Scott Medal, "in recognition of the value of this invention," the Institute Committee said: "Eighteen years ago the applicant exhibited a commercial motion picture projecting machine which he termed the Thantoscope.' This was recognized by the Institute and subsequently proved to be the first successful form of projecting machine for the production of life-size motion pictures from a narrow strip of film containing successive phases of motion." 73
