It was filmed in 1901 and released in 1902. Synopsis A chemist in his laboratory places upon a table his own head, alive then fixing upon his head a rubber tube with a pair of bellows, he begins to blow with all his might. Immediately the head increases in size and continues to enlarge until it becomes truly colossal while making faces. The chemist, fearing to burst it, opens a cock in the tube. The head immediately contracts and resumes its original size. He then calls his assistant and informs him of his discovery. The assistant, wishing to experiment for himself, seizes the bellows and blows into the head with all his might. The head swells until it bursts with a crash, knocking over the two experimenters. The chemist then literally kicks his assistant from the lab in anger. Overview The film was made after A Trip to the Moon . To create the illusion of an expanding head, Melies zoomed in on his own head with a camera and superimposed this onto the film. He received the idea from Albert A.

Orphan date January 2011 Kamptulicon , whose name was derived from the Greek kampto flexible , was a floor covering made from powdered Cork material cork and natural rubber . First patented by Elijah Galloway in 1843, Kamptulicon was first launched in public at the 1862 International Exhibition in London, where it caused a sensation. Its promoters compared it to thick, soft leather, and lauded its ease of cleaning, water resistance, warmth, and sound deadening qualities. Critics, however, pointed out that it was an unattractive colour, a sort of gray brown. Attempts were made to brighten it up by stencilling patterns on it with oil paint, but these suffered from a lack of durability. Kamptulicon was manufactured by sprinkling powdered cork on to thin bands of rubber, which was then rolled and rerolled until thoroughly mixed. It was then coated on one or both sides with linseed oil varnish or oil paint. Powdered sulphur was also sometimes mixed in, and the material then heated to produce a form of Vulcanization vulcanized kamptulicon. As well as a floor covering, kamptulicon was also used as cushions in stamping presses, and as polishing wheels for metals. ref cite book last Hoffer first Raimund authorlink coauthors title A Practical Treatise on Caoutchouc and Gutta Percha publisher H.

The so called English trunk Malle Anglaise is made of wicker and was invented in France around 1870 by the Maison Moynat . Taking its inspiration from the type of wooden chests common in England at the time, originally intended to transport linen and bedding, but also used for pique niques, the trunk was invented in France as a means of getting around obligatory weight restrictions for luggage. Histoire This type of trunk first appeared around 1870. In some historical documents of the time it is referred to as a basket due to its wicker structure. Modeled on the style of English chests which explains its more common name the English trunk it is made up of a wicker frame covered first in leather then in a thick canvas making it waterproof. To ensure that it remained entirely waterproof, Moynat used a substance called Gutta Percha to seal it. The construction of this trunk called on the involvement of specialist basket makers and leather craftsmen, who rarely worked together. The trunk was conceived as a solution for travellers who wished to get around the luggage restrictions in place on trains in France at the time. This extra light trunk it weighed as little as 2kg was seen as an alternative to the heavier items of luggage made of cardboard or leather and as a convenient way of avoiding excess baggage fines. Gradually the use of wicker and sealed canvas replaced the use of leather, and the invention of the trunk was such a success that in many countries around the world wicker trunks are still known today as Moynat trunks. gallery File MalleLegere1.jpg English trunk by Moynat .
