another use for 3D
Toronto. We have all tossed a quarter into those clever ‘slot’ machines in arcades or other amusement areas to see a series of stills. In this article from the April 1941 issue of Popular Mechanics is a suggestion to use 3D stills and offer the viewer an experience a bit different from the usual.
As a kid a few years later than 1941, I was taken to visit relatives. In the living room was a basket of old stereo views and a Holmes viewer. The scenes, all in 3D, kept me busy as my elders enjoyed their visit. I never did find any coin machines that offered stereo stills while I was still young enough to find them worth a coin or two.
A thank you goes to that erstwhile seeker of photographic history, my good friend George Dunbar for sharing his find with us.
