These projected glass slides much like modern overhead projectors. From the 1550's until the mid-twentieth century they were powered by whale-oil, alcohol, electric arc lamps, and tungsten bulbs. Watch as we fire up a sparking electric arc lamp and project lantern slides of a G.E. prototype electric car presented to company executives before 1950. See other older models, explained by Thurston Sack and with technical support by Steve Normandin.
Thanks for explaining these. Good video.
