In 1909 the Süddeutsches Camerawerk Körner and Mayer in Sontheim am Neckar, Germany, was renamed to Nettel Camerawerk. It was famous for its patented strut folding cameras. When such a camera was unfolded the position of the scissors type struts could be manipulated with a lever for focusing. Around 1910 this kind of strut folders were classified as Nettel folders. The Deckrullo-Nettel strut folders even had a focal plane shutter (rouleau shutter-->"deckrullo").
