Coding box

It is a cryptograph in which messages can be encrypted and decrypted by means of a configuration of gears that must be known by the recipient. It is valid as a toy or to store confidential information. You must be careful to note the gear configuration or you will never be able to decrypt the message if you disassemble it.

It is also valid for obtaining random numbers or letters.

It has hundreds of combinations, although you will have to be ingenious when assembling it since it is like a puzzle in which the gears must fit. It has an ingenious anchoring system that allows a great variety of configurations in very little space being besides useful as a cryptograph, an entertaining puzzle.

The system of encryption and decryption can be worked out by yourself without any difficulty. An example would be to write down the gear tooth numbers, then put "0" and "A" to start with and finally add or subtract numbers with respect to the last one so that the resulting letter is the letter you want to enter in the message. You can also set up a gear counter by taking advantage of windows you are not using.

It is advisable to use at least once two gears on the same shaft to multiply or reduce the turns, otherwise the gears will only act as a chain.

It is possible to store gears or attach accessories from my collection (collection that will grow) in the housing using the parts named "A1MF6M".

If you feel that some different type of alphanumeric wheel is needed, let me know and I will try to update the model.
