What is that instrument called? Its handle when turned moves a reel of pictures inside a box?

ruisseaublanche asked:


One had to peek through a lens like hole, one at a time. It was very popular among children in villages and towns. It was called Bioscope in local lingo. Where can I get a photo/ picture/ illustration of that? Where do I learn more about it? The instrument is seen in Madhya Pradesh Tourism ad, and a recent insurance tv commercial.
