Thomas Ross invented a projecting phenakistiscope for the magic lantern in 1869. The images were silhouettes painted on a glass disc. The disc and a metal shutter were rotated in opposite directions by a pulley arrangement, similar to what was sometimes used to operate a chromotrope. In 1871, he patented a second version with an improved shutter, of which this is an example.

See Mica Wheel of Life for another example.
