Nope. That looks more like a film projector. This had a long 'nose' on it.

A film strip projector. I remember some film strips had a record that was played with them. There was a narrative that went along with the film strip. During the narrative there would be a little bong or bell sound which signaled to advance the to the next frame. It was deemed a special treat to be chosen to be the one entrusted to run the projector and advance the film for the class.

I remember the film strips and projectors.
All these things bring back the memories. I remember the mimeograph smell. Our copies were sometimes a bit smudgy looking and hard to read.

I didn't know until recently that Thomas Edison held the patent on it.
