This fantastic Television Viewer plays a film strip consisting of a continuous loop of about forty frames, one frame being blank and thus indicating the start of the story. Each image is ¼ inch square and projects an image onto a 13/8 inch high screen. The film is placed on a carrier, which also houses the projection system, and the whole thing slides into slots in the cabinet. The bulb and first lens can be clearly seen whilst the unit protruding from the top houses a further two lenses and the final mirror that projects the image onto the frosted screen. Meantime the central area of the carrier is used to hold two 1.5v U11 batteries, whilst there is also provision to connect an external power supply via two plugs at the rear. A lever attached to the rear cover is used to advance the film by exactly one frame. Whilst doing so, it operates a breaker switch such that the bulb switches off whilst between frames.
