Abstract

A compact, handheld viewer adapted for use with photographic transparencies which are located within a film cassette in roll form, in a strip containing a plurality of individual scenes, or individually mounted transparencies. The viewer includes a manually operable drive system for selectively driving either a film take-up reel, for withdrawing film from a film cassette and advancing it through a projection station, or a film spool for rewinding the film into the film cassette.
