The case features a lid with a black covered wood handle and two latches on the slimmer ends. Once unattached the interior of lid features a black cardboard label with white writing that reads “The Sole Canadian Distributor of this VICTOR SOUND ON FILM PROJECTOR is GENERAL FILMS LIMITED” then a horizontal list of Canadian cities of where offices are, where one would be able to get minor repairs and adjustment or service. Underneath the lid, the projector remains mostly concealed with a few cut-outs in the top where we can see parts of the projector such as the lights, a space where the reel arms would attach, the top of the fan, and another latch in the middle. Once the latch is open the one side of the case folds out. Once this is open the main body of the projector is revealed. There is various switches, projector lens, the track for the film reel, and the animatophone (for sound). Along the body of the projector fan is a metal label with gold writing and border, on the top is the Victor Logo ( a circle with a scroll above it), the text underneath reads “16mm CINE’ PROJECTOR”, in fine text “FOR USE WITH SLOW-BURNING ONLY”, in slightly larger text “Made in U.S.A. by VICTOR ANIMATOGRAPH CORPORATION DAVENPORT, IOWA”, “100 TO 120 VOLTS”, a gold rectangle stamped with “950” “WATTS”, “SERIAL NUMBER”, a gold rectangle stamped “116230”, “LAMP WATTAGE”, a gold rectangle stamped “750” “MAX.”, “MODEL”, and a gold rectangle stamped “40”. The three switches read “OFF REWIND”, “OFF PROJECT”, and “SILENT SPEED SOUND SPEED”. On the slimmer ends of the case, there are cut-outs for access to controls and plug-ins. The side where the projection would project has one spot for “P.E.C. VOLTAGE”, a knob for the “MICROPHONE”, a plug-in for “MICROPHONE”, and another plug-in for “PHONO”.

- Description
- Portable RCA [Radio Corporation of America] Model 400 16mm Sound Film Projector. It is surrounded in a case, with a perforated metal square on one side of the case and blue plastic and metal handle at the top, alongside a metal plate with text that reads “16mm SOUND FILM PROJECTOR” “MODEL 400” and some more text about the projector itself. On both short sides are metal clasps that hold the case cover in place and on the bottom are four rubber feet to keep the projector off the table. The main bulk of the projector consists of blue metal divided into various parts where the motor is and the exposed mounting mechanism where the reels sit. Throughout the face are various black plastic and metal switches and knobs to control the projector. The power cord is stored underneath the main bulk in a store of shelf. Inside the removable cover is a ho-to diagram of how to thread and rewind the film reels. Underneath is a how-to to store a reel and the arms inside the case. The arms are secured in two metal brackets and leather straps. This side of the case is also where the speaker is housed - in the bottom left corner. There is also a small bottle of oil for the projector set in the case. The reel that is stored in this section is smaller and has the speaker/microphone cord wrapped around it.

- A black, heavy, cast iron-like Apollo Sound 16mm film projector. It has a unique shape with an art deco type styling. One side of the projector features a switch and silver metal knobs where the tightly coiled spring would be placed to move the film. There is a label with instruction but is illegible due to wear, herringbone-shaped cut-outs below that expose some of the mechanisms of the projector, next to these cut-outs is where the power cord connects to the projector, and towards the front of the projector is another cord that becomes wire that is wrapped around a smaller spool. Along the back side, in raised letters, text reads “APOLLO [vertical] SOUND [horizontal]”. On the very back of the projector are two switches and a black knob that props the back of the projector up slightly. The other side of the projector is the same raised text that reads “APOLLO [vertical] SOUND [horizontal]” near the back, and there is also a a sloped pattern cut-out near the bottom that exposes the fan of the projector. This side features the main part of the projector with the lens, reels, and the track for the film. The top of the projector features a handle-like design.
