    I am researching this projector and so far have not been able to make any progress in identifying manufacturer or specifications etc. ((I only have a photo, not the actual projector). The only information I have is that it was used in Victoria, Australia during the period 1919-1936 or so.

    Can anyone help?

    ID solved:

    It is an Optiscope, manuf. by W.Butcher & Sons, London, no.137150. Aldus 8-inch lens. c1916-1925.
