A device, invented in 1896 and patented by the American Mutoscope & Biograph Company (which is still in existence), that was a combination motion-picture camera and projector using 70-millimeter film to increase picture sharpness over the Edison-owned Kinetograph (recording device) and Kinetoscope (viewing device). Bio- meaning life, and -graph meaning drawing or picture.
