bioscope
Primitive film device
A bioscope is an early motion picture projector or the film it showed, dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
In South African English, bioscope remains a common word for a movie theater: We're going to the bioscope tonight.
The term survives in South Africa long after falling out of use elsewhere.
