Projector for 35 mm films manufactured by the International Camera Actiengesellschaft (ICA). This company was formed in 1909, from the merger of four German companies of photographic material. ICA mainly produced cameras and accessories, but also slide projectors, epidiascopes, and film projectors. The Monopol projector model was widely used. From 1914 onwards, more than ten thousand units were produced with four different variants. This model incorporated an electric motor for the movement of the film using the Maltese cross system, a cast iron base, a rheostat and a film holder of up to three hundred metres.
