"In our illustration, we give a general view of the
electric cyclorama, or panorama, as conceived by the
inventor, Mr Chase of Chicago. The projection apparatus,
suspended in the center of the panorama by a steel tube
and guys of steel wire, is 8 feet in diameter. The
operator stands within the apparatus and is surrounded by
an annular table supporting eight double projectors,
lanterns and all the arrangements necessary for imparting
life to a panorama 300 feet in circumference and over 30
feet in height. It is possible at will to animate such
and such a part of the view by combining this apparatus
with the Edison kinetoscope or the Lumiere kinematograph."
