BID MISCELLANEOUS LISTINGS

The following BID machines have little or no information available. They have been listed here in the hopes that others may help to provide any material. Contact : jerry.proc@sympatico.ca , if you can contribute anything.   Once a photo or a critical amount of copy has been received, that machine will then be converted into a "dedicated" document.

CODEX - an early British tactical code "machine" that looked like a folding pocket (bellows) camera. It apparently used two strips of paper (one with the vocabulary, the other with the code groups) which had to be stuck together then wound onto the roller. Held about 200 commonly used phrases, spelling, numbers, etc. It replaced by SLIDEX around 1943.
