Miillers arrangement of the clamp differedsomewhat from that adopted by Acres, as will be betterseen in Fig. 107, where the clamp L has just beenwithdrawn from contact with the film F. This inven-tion affords an interesting instance of independentinvention of the same device; for Miillers specification 104 LIVING Fig. 107. was filed in Germany after AcresEnglish application, but at least ninemonths before the Kinetic Camerawas publicly described, and it maytherefore be assumed that this co-incidence is but one more verificationof the theory that great mindsthink alike. A French patent, dated the 26thof August, 1895, was granted toM. Joly for an apparatus workingon much the same principle asVarleys invention of 1890 (Fig. 73).Fig. 108 shows the film accumulatingbehind pressure-rollers, K, and thenpassing through a steadying-frame,/,and clamp, better seen in Fig. film was drawn down by a reciprocating roller ona lever, but this leverwas turned the reverseway to Varleys arrange-ment, and instead ofbeing tilted forward bya cam, it was driven | ||[^back by its connection -^with an eccentric pin onthe disc E. In the following month(September, 1895) Friese-Greene patented a camerawhich is only noticed herebecause it has been re-ferred to as a kinemato-graphic apparatus. Cer-tainly the specifi
