The glider overcoat may have been a "flop", but I want to know who the genius was who had "a video camera rolling" in 1912. Must have been the husband of the time-traveling woman with the cell phone...

@ culturedropout
after a very quick search:
Chronomatograph Professional model 1907 camera 35mm is one of other models that the time traveler could have used instead if cell phone...

@ithyandel:
The thing I thought was funny was that this is ostensibly a science-related (and presumably accurate) publication, but _video_ cameras didn't exist until 1930 or so, and then only for live broadcast. It wasn't until sometime later that video recording was available, and at first even that took up most of a small room. What they meant was that someone had "a camera rolling" or "a film camera rolling".

According to Wikipedia:

"Video is the technology of electronically capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmitting, and reconstructing a sequence of still images representing scenes in motion."

"Electronically" is the key word in this case...

"hey i wonder if i..."
had to have been at least one of their motivators
...and some people are still saying that phrase about things to this day i would think.

time is relative.. and so is wikipedia, so you probably shouldnt rely on it as your only source of information. .it's only a collection of information given in a more-easily understood format after all

If, however, u insist on using it as your only source.. u can find more relevant information about Mr. Reichelt's minutes of fame by looking not at the page for video, but at the ones for Film, Newsreel, & Animation Camera ..the originals were hand-crank operated I believe. .just like the first cars ;)

The 1st iterations of "video camera's" came into existance in the 1880's. The Wright's flew their powered glider on Dec 14th 1903. So this film being stated as 10 years later would have been 1913. Amazing what a little research can uncover. As a point of reference, the famed Sci-Fi classic Metropolis was filmed in 1927, a mere 14 years after this event was filmed.
