- Description
- A large, black case with a Victor Animatograph speaker for the 16mm Cine-Projector (Victor Animatograph 105.05.0041). The case itself features a black wooden handle on the top and two latches, a gold sticker with the Victor Animatograph logo, and a plate that reads “DISTRIBUTORS GENERAL FILMS LIMITED TORONTO REGINA MONTREAL VANCOUVER MONCTON WINNIPEG”. The case opens completely from one side, with the latches and hinges that aren’t complete. Once opened, the interior of the case features a metal cylindrical pyramid-shaped speaker from the back, with an electrical wiring box and a plug-in, and multiple power cords. One power cord is connected to the electrical box which connects to the speaker, this cord is very long and is wrapped around a black metal bar that sits inside the case, it slides into two tracks on either side of the case. The two other cords are not attached to anything, one cord is short and features the male and female ends and the other cord is similar short with male and female ends, although the female end is surround by a cylinder. At the bottom of the case, the same side as the hinges, is a notch in the case for the power cord to put through while the speaker is in use. The front of the case has two twisting clasps near the top and a square outline in the middle with a circle inside. Once the two twisting clasps are open the square is able to be pried away from the case to reveal the front of the speaker. Across the speaker is a metal circle with “VICTOR” diagonally across. The base of the case features four very short legs.
