<<I wonder if the original Dipleidscope was painted black?>>
 
There is a Dent dipleidoscope in the Liverpool Museum that is painted black.
I persuaded the curator to get it out of display for me to look at on a sunny day. 
I couldn't work out how to use it, and felt in danger of blinding myself with the reflected sun.
There must be a trick to it that I had not sorted out.
 
If I remember correctly, Fred Sawyer showed one at the NASS conference in Hartford that his daughter had made, but I didn't get to have a close look at it.
