Synopsis
Excerpt from The Magic Lantern
The stage is a clip, which may be either open or closed for clipping the carrier, which, as its name indicates, is a contrivance for holding the slides in position against the front part of the con denser. Of all forms of apparatus, the simplest and best for ninety and nine amateurs out of a hundred is the ordinary to and fro so-called light ning carrier, some of the most up-to-date forms of which have ebonite shutters for obscuring the picture at the actual moment of change, and all sorts of little fakes to avoid fingering and to facilitate the removal of the exhibited slides. What ever form of carrier be employed, I strongly recom mend that it should be firmly wedged, or, better still, screwed into position, as nothing is more annoying to an exhibitor than to find his pictures wobbling all over the screen as a result of careless ness in this respect.
