the Homeos Pocket Stereoscope was a transposing viewer, and operated much 
like the later verascope versions.  Film was left in strips and transported 
through the viewer by pulling a rod.  Original film could be copied using the 
Homeos Tireuse (electric printer) onto an even longer spool of film, thereby 
giving you a spool of 100 stereo pairs which could be carried in your pocket 
along with the stereoscope itself.  I do recall a package of verascope items 
selling on eBay awhile back, including what i believe was a Homeos Tireuse 
(or at least parts of one).  Perhaps the winning bidder might see this post 
and shed some more light on the subject!
