Viewlex Filmstrip/Slide Projector

The Viewlex Inc. Company, Long Island, New York.

The Viewlex projected slides and filmstrips. It used an aspheric condenser system with a 150 watt projection lamp, which, according to the manufacturer, provided greater screen brilliance than other projectors using 300 watt lamps.

The relatively modern Viewlex represents the ultimate version of the multipurpose projector. Its efficient optical system allowed compact design, easy operation, and quality images. Teachers could use either 35mm slides or 35mm filmstrips simply by rotating the lens housing and inserting the appropriate transport mechanism.
