Does it project light for lets say a shadow puppet show? I guess a spot light of sorts?

 

[keltin]

Light is invovled, but not a spotlight or projector.

It produces optical illusions or light patterns visible in the opening.

 

[Renee Attili]

A strobe light?

Not a strobe light, but it does produce "light patterns".

 

[Buck]

An early "viewmaster?"

An early film machine. The disc holds pictures showing some king of action. eg horse jumping over a fence. It spins showing the sequence apparently as a motion film.

 

[Buck]

Does the spinning metal disc have images on it?

Getting very warm Miniman.

 

[keltin]

No, the disc is a manipulator of sorts.
