Vintage WWII Army Air Corps Opaque Projector

This projector is a WWII Army Corps of Engineers Opaque Projector: US Army Signal Corps Still Picture Projector AP-5(1) made by Breseler.

The U.S. Army in 1945 was the first to use the opaque projector in quantity for training as World War II wound down. The opaque projector is a predecessor to the overhead projector. The light source in early opaque projectors was often limelight, with Incandescent light bulbs and halogen lamps taking over later.

During World War II, women worked outside their homes and in non-traditional occupations in unprecedented numbers. As millions of men and thousands of women entered the armed services, the country faced a shortage of workers needed to maintain a strong economy and support the war effort. While the most famous image of wartime women workers was "Rosie the Riveter," women moved into hundreds of other occupations that formerly had been the preserve of men. Contemporaries recognized this revolution in the world of work and acknowledged the new and critical roles of women in the wartime economy.

"I feel it's important to donate to this cause because of how education can help these youth have a voice and improve their own lives, and how through teaching you can learn from them as well..." Gregg LeFevre
