RED: 4th Problem

Munitions Buildings, Washington D.C.

25 may 1936

 

                   Dear Mrs Driscoll

 

We have intercept another message from naval
japonese attach
é. Fortunately we know its
beginning :

 

KAIGUN ATATCHEE KARA YAMAMOTO
ISOROKU MADE OWARI

 

We know too they still use the separation of vowels
and consonants.

 

It is possible to deduce from the indicator
(19365
) the following elements :
- Direct Mode

- Cipher Mode

- The vowel wheel position (from 1 to 6) : 5

- The consonant wheel position (from 1 to 20) : 4

- The interrupter wheel position (from 1 to 47) : 20

 

Good luck!

 

Admiral William D. Leahy,
