Ad for old style Kodak projector – Popular Science, March 1950
Toronto. When 35mm transparency projectors came along, a simple slide holder allowed a slide to be loaded while another was projected. The operator had to keep the slides in order for storage and correctly positioned for right side up and no reversal projection.
George Dunbar sent me some interesting ads the other day, including a March 1950 ad for a trio of old style Kodak projectors. Just over a decade later Kodak came out with the Carousel line with a rotary tray that both stored and held slides in the desired order right way around. And as they say,’ the rest is history’.
Want to add one of these old pre-Carousel projectors to your collection? Drop by our Trunk Sale tomorrow and you may just find one – or another collectible item – or user item (film or digital). Remember, admission is free, parking is free, it’s outdoors (rain or shine), and there is even food for a small payment.
