In a slide projector having a partioned magazine for insertion into a magazine guide track so that the in turn, effective ejection side of the magazine is at right angles to or generally at right angles to the horizontal film aperture, the improvement comprising the operative bearing side of the magazine opposite the leading edge of the image stage side of the contained slide in the projector is foreshortened and the magazine guide path (1), considered in crosssection, is provided with a step (7) at least in the region of the film aperture (6), the profile of this step (7) adapted so that the bearing side (8) of the magazine containing a slide (10), and the face (10a) of the step which is situated at a higher level and thus suitable for receiving the slides as soon as the magazine is inserted, continues in the form of the film aperture (11).
In combination a slide projector with a film aperture in a side thereof and a partitioned magazine adapted to accept a slide (10) of a given length, said magazine comprising an ejector side positioned at right angles to said film aperture, a top wall (19) with means (17) for retaining a slide in said magazine and a foreshortened bottom wall (8) having a length less than the given length of a slide and defining a foreshortened operative bearing on which a first portion of the length of the slide bears, said projector having a guide track with a bottom face (7) and a face (10a), and said film aperture having a horizontal continuous bearing surface integral with said guide track and configured to said foreshortened bottom wall, said continuous bearing surface and said face (10a) positioned at a higher level than said bottom face for supporting a second portion of the length of the slide in said magazine and for continuously receiving and transporting the slide through said film aperture.
