Generator For Moving Pictures
Photographic postcard of the generator used to power the "Frank H. Thompson Famous Moving Pictures." A belt from the generator stretches to the flywheel on the front of an automobile. Behind that is a billboard with many photos attached to it, probably advertising the movies being shown. In the background is a striped tent and a building. |
