Tray-Stereoscope ‘Le Taxiphote’ with Rare Patented Blend Mechanism

A bake­lite tray con­tain­ing 25 glass slides can be insert­ed by flip­ping down the front of the view­er. Then, by depress­ing the lever on the right side of the hous­ing, one slide after anoth­er can be exam­ined. On the left side of the view­er, there is a counter which indi­cates the num­ber of the slide and allows nav­i­ga­tion to a spe­cif­ic slide.
The base of the view­er has three draw­ers with four trays each, mak­ing it pos­si­ble to store a total of 300 slides. The elec­tric light unit was added lat­er. Although it’s clear­ly no Richard prod­uct, it’s well done and allows basic adjustment.
