Historical Context
The Bardy Projector Co. was incorporated in Delaware in 1922.
A 1922 edition of Science and Invention magazine painted a bright picture for the company, which was based in Philadelphia:
Thomas A. Edison said some years ago that the next great world-wide development of the motion-picture industry would come through the invention of a projection machine which would take advantage on the screen of every bit of light used. It seems that the Bardy model gets full, or nearly 100 per cent of light on the picture, and that the light is steady, and constant. The ordinary movie projector loses about 60 per cent of the light due to the shutter. This machine has no arc carbons, no shutter, and no intermittent motion.
"I started in on this thing when I was twenty years old,” said Mr. Bardy, “and it has taken me more than ten years to get the machine ready for this exhibition. But let me say now that my work was made possible by the loyal and unfaltering support of a small group of assistants with dauntless courage, also Philadelphians.”
Bardy's patent was granted by the United States Government September 23, 1919. He feels that in the public exhibition of his projector at this time he is fully protected under the seal of his “Uncle Sam." It is said that literally thousands of inventors have been at work for years on non-intermittent, nonflicker motion-picture projection machines, but that none of them has ever been able to bring the machine to the point of actual use, as Mr. Bardy has done.
Besides putting a soft and perfectly lighted darkness. No matter how slow the machine picture on the screen, the inventor makes the is operated, one a second or one a minute, the amazing statement that if he so desired he eye cannot detect when one picture melts into could sell his machine at one-third the price the next. The editors saw this machine of the existing makes of standard machines.
Unfortunately for Mr. Bardy, there is no evidence the machine ever reached the commercial production stage.
