US WW2 Carrying Bag for the Converter M-209-B
The special carrying bag would carry the
Encoding Machine, screwdriver, paper tape, technical manual, webbing bag and pencil. The Converter M-209-B was a small, compact, hand-operated, tape printing, cryptographic mechanical device. It used a series of rotors to encipher and decipher radio transmitted tactical messages rapidly. When properly set and operated it enciphered a plain text message of any length and automatically printed the enciphered text on a plain tape in five-letter groups. The M-209-B also deciphered transmitted messages that had been previously enciphered on another Converter. The Converter printed the plain text on a paper tape with proper spacing between the words.
Overal a very nice used carrying bag and strap in very good condition.
