Mini "falling plate"
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
La ICA Aviso fou probablement la càmera de plaques tipus "falling plate" més petita del món. Aquest tipus de càmeres carreguen diverses plaques fotogràfiques al darrera, usualment unes 12, i per mitjà de molles i palanques cada placa cau a la part inferior un cop exposada, d'aquí el nom "falling plate" (placa caiguda).
Aquest model es del format 6x4,5 cm, el més petit de totes les plaques (quan aquestes càmeres solen ser molt voluminoses). De fet, té diversos noms. Inicialment era la Hüttig Gnom, després coneguda com a Hüttig Aviso, empresa que passà a formar part de ICA el 1909; per tant, els models finals eren la Hüttig Aviso. Crec que data de cap al 1920. Per desgracia li manca la part que guia les plaques internament, pel que la càmera no es pot fer servir.

=====================
The ICA Aviso was probably the smallest falling plate camera in the world. This type of camera loads several dry plates on the back, usually about 12, and by means of springs and levers each plate falls to the bottom once exposed, hence the name "falling plate".
This model is of the 6x4.5 cm format, the smallest of all plates (when these cameras are usually very bulky). In fact, it has several names. Initially it was the Hüttig Gnom, later known as Hüttig Aviso, a company that became part of ICA in 1909; therefore, the final models were the Hüttig Aviso. I think this one dates from around 1920. Unfortunately it lacks the part that guides the plates inside, so it can't be used.
