Slide Projector

The little whirring motor struggles in clicks and clacks as it valiantly swings the slides into place, moving the carousel from one vacation photo to the next. Light beams through the darkness, illumination reflecting off your face, and your wide eyes glistening in the glow of the pictures passing by. Slide projectors were common in the 1950s and 1960s as a form of entertainment; family members and friends would gather to view slideshows. The first carousel slide projector was invented by Louis Misuraca, who immigrated to the United States from Naples, Italy. Louis was paid a one-time fee for his invention by the Eastman Kodak Company and did not earn royalties. He used the money to take his family on a trip to Italy.
