Gary Jones provides some background information on the device. "This was introduced into the British Army circa 1943/44, and by virtue of radio monitoring was broken by the German Intelligence fairly rapidly. In spite of that, it soldiered on until at least the early 1980's since it's mentioned as having been used by the Parachute Regiment on active duty in Northern Ireland [2] . I used it as a radio operator in the 1960's and 1970's, in both a regular Army and reserve capacity. The system relied on the card, each of which was specific to arm, and the plastic cursors which were one vertical on the left and one horizontal on the top. If memory serves, the first 4 spaces had 2 letters and were used to set up the code pad, much as a map reference is used.

Number Stations
A numbers station (or number station ) is a shortwave radio station of uncertain origin. In the 1950s, Time magazine reported that the numbers stations first appeared shortly after World War II and were using a format that had been used to send weather data during that war. Numbers stations generally broadcast artificially generated voices reading streams of numbers, words, letters (sometimes using a spelling alphabet ), tunes or Morse code . They are in a wide variety of languages and the voices are usually female, although sometimes men's or children's voices are used. Fictional example of a numbers station.
