A heavy hand cranked cipher machine in a cast metal case, six irregular pin wheels in a row along the top with different diameters, the four wheels at the left engraved with rings of capital letters and the two at the right with rings of numbers, a paper tape printer at the top with a narrow blank strip, a folding crank at the right side, a character counter at the front left, the whole machine tall and bulky, mud dried in a crust on its base, standing on a rough plank table in a field post, a single lamp from above at an angle, grey cast metal and brass catching the light, the dugout behind in darkness.
