More From Frog Applause
The International Mutoscope Reel Company (partially obscured logo at lower right) made mutoscope machines and “movies” for them 1925-1949 under license from the owners of the technology. You may have seen mutoscopes in museums; they were originally coin operated and hand cranked, and you look into a shaded eyepiece and view individual photographic images (on a Rolodex-like core) which are momentarily flipped into position for viewing. If I’m remembering my experience correctly, the machine goes “clack-clack-clack-clack” as you turn the handle.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutoscope
