United States M-209 WW-II Cipher Machine
The American M-209 Cipher Machine was widely used throughout WW-2. It is shown with its carrying case, manual, and accessories. You can see a roll of paper tape inside the cover and a spare roll in the carrying case. The M-209 has 6 rotors with 26 individually adjustable rotation advance pins. It also has a complex set of internal settings that control the ultimate rotation of a print wheel that prints the ciphertext onto paper tape. It is an entirely mechanical mechanism and includes an Encode / Decode lever.

Re: United States M-209 WW-II Cipher Machine
I've never seen shots of that device! Quite similar to the Enigma Machine. Very Kewl!
