The images below come from the patent granted to Jenkins for his Phantoscope, which relied on the novel principle of "synchronously traveling light and pictures."  Notice Jenkins's brief description of the phenomenon of "persistence of vision" at the beginning of the patent.

These images are courtesy of the U.S. Patent Office.

Please be patient -- the images might take a moment to load.
