An informal celebration for the 75th
anniversary of the “birth” of the View-
Master will be held at Oregon Caves Na-
tional Monument, at 11 a.m. August 24.
Gretchen Gruber, daughter of the inven-
tor, will travel from Portland to tell stories
about the iconic toy, which also became
a useful training tool for medical schools
and the U.S. military.
The View-Master story began in
1938 when inventor William Gruber, of
Portland, met Harold Graves, president of
Sawyers, Inc., an Oregon postcard manu-
facturing company. They’d just finished a
tour of Oregon Caves and began talking
about the pair of Kodak Bantam Special
cameras that Gruber had rigged together
on his tripod.
The two cameras simultaneously
took photos from two different angles
using Kodachrome 16 mm color film, in-
vented in 1935. Gruber wanted to develop
an update of the stereoscope, a device
common in the early 1900s which, when
peered through, created three-dimensional
images.
Gruber and Graves were both staying
at the Oregon Caves Chateau and agreed
to meet for dinner and talk about the idea.
That evening they drew up the prelimi-
nary plans for putting Gruber’s idea into
production. Oregon Caves National Mon-
ument has ever since been recognized as
the “birthplace” of the View-Master.
In 1939, Gruber and Graves formed
a partnership and began producing the
viewers and reels. They introduced the
View-Master at the New York World’s
Fair the same year.
The invention enjoyed immediate
popularity and over the next 75 years,
over 1.5 billion reels were produced in
seventeen languages. Between 1942 and
the end of World War II in 1945, the U.S.
military purchased 100,000 viewers and
600,000 reels to train personnel in range
estimation as well as airplane and ship
identification.
Gruber also collaborated with David
L. Bassett, an expert on dissection, to cre-
ate a 25-volume atlas of human anatomy
using the View-Master system.
Beginning with the Model A, 25 dif-
ferent viewers were developed using the
same internal mechanism and photo reel
design, ensuring every reel will work in
every model. Reels have been produced
for Disneyland, to promote tourism, tele-
vision shows and movies. The View-Mas-
ter is featured in the National Toy Hall of
Fame in Rochester, NY. It’s estimated that
more than 60% of the world’s population
recognizes the View-Master name.
Industrial designer Charles Harrison
led the team which designed the Model F
View-Master. He won the Cooper-Hewitt
Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 for
his outstanding body of work. Harrison
visited Oregon Caves National Monument
in 2010 for a presentation on the View-
Master and other design achievements.
The public is cordially invited to the
Chateau on Saturday to join in the View-
Master celebration and share memories
in the place where the View-Master story
began its journey around the globe. The
“birthday party” is an opportunity to lis-
ten to stories from the inventor’s daughter
who can tell the story from the perspec-
tive of a family member who grew up dur-
ing the years when the View-Master was
becoming a global sensation.
