In this image notice where the slide sorter is located on the slide projector.
The slide projector was used in homes, businesses and in education to show visual images prior to the advent of Powerpoint and digital projectors. Images could be projected onto a white screen or wall and a hand-held remote would move the slides forward and backward by the speaker or could be operated manually.
Slide Sorter
A slide sorter is used to organize photographic slides in the order you wish them to be projected on the screen. Photographic slides are positive photographic images that could be processed specifically for slide projection equipment.
Types of Slide Sorter
The slide sorter would usually be either a rectangular box with a number of slots for the slides to be placed or it could be in the form of a carousel. A carousel was a round tray with slots where slides could be inserted and it would move round in a circle to show the required slides.
Slide Sorters Today
The term "slide sorter" today often refers to a capacity in Powerpoint (and some other computer software programs) that will sort your "slides" into the order that you would like to present them. These could be visual images, slides with text or slides with text and images.
