Abstract

A sound-slide projector of a basic form illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,732,000 is equipped with a keyboard which controls a digital servomotor to position a slide tray for random access to the sound-slides. Operation of a mechanical slide-changing mechanism formerly cyclically operated in a predetermined time by a flywheel is temporarily interrupted by a solenoid while the servomotor positions the slide tray to provide variable timing required for random selection of sound slides.
