Still-Film  Projection  with  the Memoscope
    The Most  Practical Method  of Showing
             Memo  Results

Tf VERYONE   who  has attended an  illustrated
E    lecture  is  familiar  with  the  old-style  stere-
     opticon  using lantern  slides (transparencies)
3l  x 4 inches in  size, and those with  any photo-
graphic  experience know  that  a  lantern  slide  is
a  print  on glass instead of  on  paper, made thus
so that    it may  be projected on  e screen by  the
transmitted  light  of  the lantern.
  The  Memoscope works  on  exactly  the  same
principle,  except  that  instead  of  using  lantern
slides it uses e roll  of  film.   This 6lm  is not  the
negative  film  exposed in  the Memo  camera, but
a transparency printed  from    it on Memo  Positive
Film.
  The  Memoscope  is  a  wonderfully   convenient
projector.  Complete  in  case, it  weighs only  4,
