APH Collection

Introduced by APH in 1974 to benefit children experiencing difficulty seeing a film or slideshow projected onto a wall screen. Images could be projected onto a transluscent paper suspended in the frame, either from in front or behind, allowing magnification and manipulation of the image by low vision students. In 1988-89, the screen was redesigned in the APH model shop in acrylic. This example was used in Tom Poppe's model shop during the re-design process.
