[edit] Rawlence
did some work. He clearly states Le Prince´s birth as of 1841, and his second name was Aimé, not Aimée. Therefore I made some minor adjustments to the text. --Filmtechniker, 80.219.85.159 16:28, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] US Patents
i've quickly searched the official US patent organisation site to find Le Prince's 1888 US patent but was not successful, if anyone is used with patents search sites, it would be a nice addition to this article. Cliché Online 14:22, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mirrored pictures
actually i just realized the NMPFT digital movies are the right side, it is actually the NMPFT ressource centre archive pictures of frames who are mirrored! The article, and article pictures will be corrected tomorrow and my video Roundhay Rexdix Ver3 too, a luck i did not realized this picture mistakes too late.

- The 1930 National Science Museum copy of Roundhay Garden Scene incorrectly shows the scene in reverse (with people on the left and house on the right). The later NMPFT digital copy correctly shows the scene with house on the left and people on the right. 30 May 2007

[edit] Great page
I just wanted to say to the editors how great this page is. Thanks! --Charlene 01:28, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Photograph of body
G'day, the reference to the last paragraph of the lead section (about the photograph of a drowned man that is supposed to be Le Prince) seems to be missing. --Ouro (blah blah) 19:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Notes on the Leeds Bridge movie
The movie was shot from an upper window of a building at Bridge End, on the south east corner of Leeds Bridge. There is a commemorative blue plaque on the building. The premises were occupied by Hick Brothers, ironmongers. Le Prince bought items from the shop to construct his equipment in his 160 Woodhouse Lane workshop, approximately a mile north of the bridge. The scene shows traffic on Leeds Bridge with Lower Briggate visible on the far right and the entrance to Swinegate on the far left. To see photo's of the Leeds Bridge area go to the "Leodis" site http://www.leodis.net and enter a key term such as Leeds Bridge or Bridge End or Hick Brothers or Louis Le Prince, etc. (enter term Auto Express to see photo's of his workshop building at 160 Woodhouse Lane). 11 July 2007

[edit] Adolphe or Alphonse?
I find Le Prince's story fascinating, but this article confuses me slightly, so I added two clarifyme tags. It first has "Le Prince's elder son Adolphe, who had assisted his father in many of his experiments", but later "According to Alphonse Le Prince who assisted his father at Leeds". Did Louis have two sons and did they both assist their father? Is there a source for who actually appears in the Roundhay Garden Scene film and who actually was called as a witness for the American Mutoscope Company in their litigation with Edison? -84user (talk) 15:13, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
