The Lumiere Brothers patented the Cinematographe in France on 13 February 1895 and in Britain on 8 April 1895 (British patent no. 7187) and April 13, 1896 (British patent no. 7801). The machine was a combined camera and projector.

The first public presentation of the Cinematographe was given in Paris on 22 March 1895 and a film showing workers leaving Lumiere's factory was projected. At the end of 1895 the Lumiere brothers gave an order to Jules Carpentier to produce 200 Cinematographe cameras.

The machine and its claw movement formed the basis of many subsequent devices.
