When was the first camera to have multiple FPS?

Specifically what brand/model and when was this available to private individuals?  I have been looking on Google and I can't seem to find when this camera feature was invented. 

Canon 7D | Canon EF-S 18-55 IS | Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 | Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 | Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro | CanonEF 17-40 f/4 L | 70-200 f/4 L | 580 EX II

Nope earlier than that.  Étienne-Jules Marey's chronophotographic gun which was in the late 1800's could do 12FPS http://himetop.wikidot.com/etienne-jules-marey-s-chronophotographic-gun

Interesting, so that chronophotographic gun keeps up with the Canon 1Dx!

I was going to say the Robot 1, but seems to be not the first.
