Children's film projector manufactured by the American company NIC Projector Company. In 1932, the manufacture of children's animated image projectors began in the United States with the purchase of the Cine NIC system patent by this New York Company. The first NIC to be manufactured in the United States was the NIC 100, which is a copy of the first-generation Cine NIC projector, but with a change in the colour of the device (instead of black: blue, green or red). A few months later, an improved version, the NIC 200, came out, with an already different shape from the Catalan original. Later, the NIC 300 and 400 featured new improvements such as sound (a disc at the top like the models of the Catalan Cine NIC). In 1934, the NIC 500 appeared, with a peculiar cylindrical shape, and the NIC 600. Cine NIC's patent was sold to companies in many other countries, such as Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Australia, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, Argentina, Mexico, etc.
