The Edison Vitascope was an early motion picture projector that utilized a bright light source to project images from film strips onto a screen. The film strips were rapidly moved through the projector, creating the illusion of motion to the viewer. The Vitascope played a significant role in the early development of cinema.

A stock ticker prints current prices from the stock market. It was the first to print words as well as numbers. He invented the phonograph in 1877. The phonograph device was used to record and replay sound from a cylinder. From 1877 to 1878, he invented the carbon microphone. The carbon microphone makes voices louder on the telephone. In 1879, Thomas invented the light bulb. His first successful bulb glowed for 13 hours. He invented the kinetoscope in 1888. The kinetoscope records and reproduces objects in motion. Edison invented the vitascope in 1896. The vitascope was used to project motion pictures in public screenings in New York City.
The earliest documented account of an exhibition of projected motion pictures in the United States was in June 1894 in Richmond, Indiana by Charles Francis Jenkins. Jenkins used his Phantoscope to project his film before an audience of family, friends and reporters. The film featured a vaudeville dancer performing a Butterfly Dance. Jenkins and his new partner Thomas Armat modified the Phantoscope for exhibitions in temporary theaters at the Cotton States Exposition in the fall of 1895. The Phantoscope was later sold to Thomas Edison whom changed the name of the projector to Edison's Vitascope. With the Vitascope, Edison began public showings of his films at Koster and Bial's Music Hall on 34th Street in New York City on April 23, 1896.[ 4] However, the first "storefront theater" in the US dedicated exclusively to showing motion pictures was Vitascope Hall, established on Canal Street, New Orleans, Louisiana July 26, 1896—it was converted from a vacant store.~Taken from Wikipedia~
Thomas Armat did not invent the projector, but he did work on the development of early motion picture technology in collaboration with Thomas Edison. Armat and Edison had a legal dispute over the invention of the projector, leading to the creation of the Vitascope, which is considered one of the early motion picture projectors.
