If you manoeuvre up to Springfield Massachusetts you’re able to see this unique projector which was repair in 1996 for the appropriately named , Seymour Planetarium . It was built just before WWII at a time when the four other planetarium in the US all used Zeiss machines .
The Mark I Zeiss represents the origin of modern planetaria — accurately projecting adept and their relative drive , over prison term , onto the inside of a dome . It was developer by Walther Bauersfeld , main design engineer and later director of Carl Zeiss just after the first World War . Like many scientific object , this first generation simple machine does not front like what became the received build .

A 60s model Spitz projector with ball-shaped projection .
Between the little polyhedral A serial projector , and the larger A 3 P , Spitz produce a large projector to rival Zeiss designs , but still based upon pinhole projection .
In the later 30s , Armand Spitz set out to make a much cheaper planetarium projector that could be affordable by school . The results was the A , A-1 and A-2 which were based upon a revolving dodecahedron .
regrettably we have no theme who made this machine . However , you could see it along with some first-class moving-picture show of other projectors at Owen Phairis ’ , Big Bear Traveling Planetarium website .
