Summary
| Description |
English: M-134 cipher machine, w:William F. Friedman's original design and the predecessor of the w:SIGABA. Note plugboard in upper left with five wires, one unplugged. These assigned the outputs of the control wheel maze to specific stepping solenoids and provided additional key variability. In SIGABA, also know as the ECM-II, the plugboard was replaced by five 10-pin rotors. |
