bgneal@47: The `M-209`_ is a mechanical cipher machine used by the US military during World
bgneal@47: War II and up to the Korean War. The M-209 is also known as the CSP-1500 by
bgneal@47: the US Navy. The M-209 is an example of a Hagelin device, a family of
bgneal@47: mechanical cipher machines created by Swedish inventor `Boris Hagelin`_.
bgneal@47: 
bgneal@47: This project is a Python 3 library and command-line utility for encrypting and
bgneal@47: decrypting text by simulating the operation of an actual M-209 device.
