Neat video. It’s almost like a time machine; you’re watching a real slice-of -life and not a staged event. Mesmerizing.

I wonder what kind of camera they were using. It’s amazing to me 100 years ago they had the technology to have a video cam small enough to fit on a trolley.

Oh, and forget about the jaywalkers. It’s jaydrivers you had to watch out for back then!

( Slaps head to jar brain into gear... doesn't work, dammit, just hurts... )

As I recall, there was a French film camera from that era that produced some surprisingly good-quality movies- darn good, even compared to the still cameras of that time.

I remember viewing footage of various wars in that age and was surprised at how clear it was.

It would have been a film camera. There were no video cameras back then. (My apologies if you were being facetious, but I've run into quite a few younger people who have no knowledge of film. They believe movies were always shot with video cameras!)

Did you see the kids that were zig-zagging back and forth in front of the trolley?
