The display is owned and managed by the Stereoscopic Society. We have a
member in Bath who goes in to check the equipment and change the slides.
The RPS have virtually no interest in the display. It used to be sadly
neglected until we took full charge. 

The viewers were made by Hugo de Weiss in the Netherlands. They have
wonderful (and expensive!) lenses. The bodies are fabricated from
stainless steel. 

Currently, Bernard Makinson (our Chairman and a professional exhibition
display designer) is working on a new stereo display for the Museum of
Film & Photography in Bradford. Progress is slow, but we'll get there!

Bernard is not yet contactable by e-mail (I drag him onto the net "real
soon now"!), but I could pass on messages - he and his wife Sue (our
secretary) and I work very closely on many aspects of society activities.
