Biografie
Tru-Vue Inc. was founded in 1931. Tru-Vue was most popular between 1930 and 1940. Original viewers used 35 mm acetate filmstrips with 12 stereoviews. Film strips would be placed through the left side of the viewer and slowly pulled across using a lever. In 1950, Tru-Vue introduced colour films to compete with Sawyer's View-Master. In 1952 Sawyer's View-Master acquired the Tru-Vue Company. The company change switched the traditional film strip to stereocards with 7 images that would be inserted into the top of the viewer and pulled down.
