"abstract": "It was just fifty years ago—1887, to be exact—that the ground-work was laid for the motion picture art, and with it the foundation of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers. The thought of putting motion into photography, which the late Thomas Alva Edison derived largely from the zoetrope, a toy, and his immediate assignment of an associate to the task of developing a camera at his Newark Lamp Works laboratory, would, I believe, entitle that inventor to honorary recognition by this Society. And as chief of the experimental crew, the late W. K. L. Dickson undoubtedly should also be entitled to similar recognition.** The Ott brothers, John and Fred, Charley Kaiser, and Bill Heist rounded out the very first group of technicians and mechanics in the world engaged exclusively in developing the necessary apparatus for taking and exhibiting motion pictures.",
