My time aboard the weather station was interesting to say the least! We obtained photos of the new cipher machine and, believe it or not, a full set of wiring diagrams together with the settings for the next month! As far as I know our presence was not detected. There was no sign of life and I guess our diversion worked. The low visibility on the ice helped. The machine I studied was remarkably unsophisticated and bore little resemblance to the ten wheel rotor machine our contacts had led us to expect. It may be that as a weather station model it has been kept simple. They may also have been worried that it would fall into enemy hands and therefore have issued only this prototype. Nonetheless they seem convinced of its security. Time will tell. I will give a fuller report on the structure of the machine, its operation and its current settings in my next message. By the way, I found the enclosed plaintext next to the machine, and it looked as though it was about to be sent. It may be worth listening out for the next weather station transmission. In the meantime I will attack the latest Soviet message. They seem to have scaled up the security again, though I don't think this one uses the rotor machine so it shouldn't be too steep.
