Description

The Black Picturol Projector Model G, manufactured by the Society for Visual Education Inc. in Chicago, USA, is a filmstrip projector. It features a cylindrical light bulb housed in a box at the back of the projector. The front of the projector is equipped with a cylindrical lens, while the mechanism in between is responsible for feeding the filmstrip past the light. A black knob on the side allows for the movement of the filmstrip. To power the light, there is a lengthy cord that provides electricity. Accompanying the projector is a black case with a hinged top and a leather handle. Inside the case, there are felt pads to provide protection. There is also a padded compartment, although it is too narrow to accommodate a spare light bulb. Additionally, there is a metal tin designed to hold a coil of filmstrip. The tin has a gold color and is labeled with the word "Vermont" on the top. Lastly, a spare light bulb is included for the projector. This bulb features a brass-colored connection base, a large wire filament, and a black cap on the top. It is worth noting that there is an identical bulb already inside the projector.
