The 'Ilford Transparency Viewer'
for 2"x2" (35mm or 4x4cm) slides was being marketed
by mid-1963. Its plano-convex lens gave a magnification of 1.5x.
The box logo shown here has the Ilford 'sunburst' symbol which
appeared in 1965, so this example must date to 1965 or later.
It cost £1.4s.6d (£1.23p). It worked off 2xUII ('C'
type) batteries. The viewer price included a bulb but excluded
the batteries.
