German term or phrase: Diaschlitten
This is a description of the advantages of a particular projector.

---------
Vor allem aber erleichtert der Beamer X die Vorführung von Fotos, Filmen und Musik. Denn der Fotograf muss nicht wie früher mit Dia-Kästen und -Schlitten jonglieren, um Bilder flüssig vorzuführen.

Note from asker to answerer
Thank you everyone who had a look at this question. It was a close one between "slide tray" and "slide carriage", but "slide tray" did ultimately jog my memory - I recall that particular phrase from when I was a young 'un and was shown slideshows at school. So that's the one I've gone with here. Thanks!

slide carriage

Explanation:
This is the mechanism from a slide projector which advances the slides held in a magazine (Magazin).

Think of the literal meaning of "schlitten" - the slides are held in the vertical plane in the magazine and slid sideways into the projector by the carriage.

The Kästen refers to a box which can contain magazines of slides (if you aren't familiar with projectors the magazine just holds slides upright so they can be moved into the projector by the carriage) - it's an inefficient way of storing slides long term however as it takes up huge amounts of space.
