As a matter of fact, the Netherlands Society for Stereophotography
couldn't have existed as it did without Hugo de Wijs and his famous
multi format projectors, which accept 41x101 (5P and 7P) as well as 
2x2x2 (24x18 to 24x36) slides, with exchangeable projection lenses as 
well as *condenser systems*. On the same page as quoted by George two of
those projectors can be seen.
Hugo made the first (founding) I.S.U. congress possible (Wageningen, 
the Netherlands, 1975). He must be one of the worlds most experienced 
stereoprojectionists. His career in stereo started in *1959*.
Indeed, around for a while...
