  "textContent": "An external rearview mirror comprises a mirror plate (1), a mechanism (10) for adjusting the position of the mirror plate (1), a housing (30) that accommodates the mirror plate (1) and the mechanism (10), and a mirror base (40) on which the housing (30) is mounted and which is mounted to the side of a vehicle body (50). The mechanism (10) comprises an articulation (11,12) formed by first parts (11) provided on the mirror plate (1) and second parts (12) provided on the housing (30) and arranged to enable angular movement of the mirror plate (1) about an axis passing through the plane of the mirror plate (1). It also comprises a movement transmission device (13,14,15,16) comprising a sole transmission cable formed by an internal cable (13) and an external sleeve (14); and an arm (15) that projects perpendicularly from the rear face of the mirror plate (1) with its free end anchored to one end of the cable (13), the end of the sleeve (14) from which the cable end extends being fixed to a surface of the housing (30). A spring (16) is anchored at one end to the free end of the arm (15) and at the other end to the housing (30) and a remote activation mechanism (17,18) is connected to the other end of the cable (13) so that the cable (13) may be respectively pulled or pushed inside the sleeve (14), against or in favor of the force of the spring (16), according to corresponding movement of the activation mechanism (17,18).",
