Overview
This brand and make of slide projector was commonly found in New Zealand schools, clubs and homes in the 1960s-70s. Slide shows were a key learning tool in education, and an effective way to share trips and experiences either at home or in clubs such as the Wellington Tararua Tramping Club where this particular projector was used by the club's president Don Viggers.
