They used to have actual filmstrip projectors. Like a slide projector but for film strips
They were used a lot in schools in the 50's and 60's

Oh, that brings back memories. As a kid I had a rather small projector that wasn't motorised. You fed the film and simply used a knob to move it forwards and backwards.

Some of the film strip projectors could be used with mounted slides too.
Really fancy ones could be connected to a phonograph and they'd advance the film automatically to sync with an audio presentation. (or else the teacher advanced the film when the queuing "beep" happened on the record).

 

[Sirius Glass]

Filmstrips are single frame [aka half frame] 35mm format.

 

[AgX]

Not over here. Here they were full format, horizontal orientation.

Some projectors had a slide-stage that could be exchanged for a spooled-film stage.

Ha well I'll be dog gone... I don't remember where I got these from, but someone sent me a u-tube of the projector. My mom or aunt may have had one... who knows I never throw anything out, it may be in the shed. Have to take a look when the weather turns back to normal Arizona clear skies..
