Summary
| Description |
English: Machine for generating key lists for the SIGABA/ECM II cipher machine used by the United States during World War II and after. It used a rotor device, possibly stored in safe at lower right, to produce random SIGABA settings for each day. The unit on the left is an IBM 513 Reproducing Punch. Connections to the other machines are made via the 513's plugboard. (Compare with http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/513.jpg) |
