Ki*ne"to*scope (?), n.
A machine,
for the production of animated pictures, in which a film carrying
successive instantaneous views of a moving scene travels uniformly
through the field of a magnifying glass. The observer sees each
picture, momentarily, through a slit in a revolving disk, and these
glimpses, blended by persistence of vision, give the impression of
continuous motion.
