Leon Bouly
Leon Guillaume Bouly (1872 - 1932) was the French inventor of the term Cinématographe.
Very few things are known relating to it, if it that after having built apparatuses of Chronophotographie, it deposits on February 12th 1892 the patent of a reversible apparatus “ of photography and optics for the analysis and the synthesis of the movements, is not said Cynématographe Leon Bouly ”.
December 27th 1893, it makes a correction on the name of its apparatus which becomes Cinématographe . This apparatus is able to make the catch of sight and also projection. It uses a sensitive Pellicule without perforations and the whole of the principles necessary to the Cinéma is present: jerked advance of film synchronized with the obturator. Two of its apparatuses are preserved at the Conservatoire national of arts and trades.
In 1894, Bouly not having paid the royalties of its patents, the name of Cinématographe became available and patented again by the Frères Light which are thus not the original authors.
The historians note today that, in his patent (n°219 350), Leon Bouly was, before the Light, the true inventor of the cinematograph term.
