The most perfect, and at the same time most compact apparatus in book form is Short's Filoscope. The book is bound in a metal clip pivoted in a metal casing, and may be revolved by pressure on an attached lever as seen in Fig. 37. The leaves are released in regular succession, and fly over rapidly on their escape from the edge of the case, the latter being so formed that the cards when not in use possess a concave curve on their face. By this means their resiliency is preserved and their rapid motion when released is increased. The form assumed by the leaves when the apparatus is closed is shown in ^'^- 38. Fig. 38. The views are small half-tone prints on the end of comparatively long leaves, the increased length of the leaf serving to rapidly remove each picture to Fifj. 39. a considerable distance from the following one, thus affording a very clear view. A variation of this book-form type is Casler's Mutoscope, which consists of a receptacle having an
