Hi,


I do not wish to add to the confusion, but this Bordbuch is indeed unusual. Some type of code key appears possible. However, if it was a company code, it may have used something called a "one time pad." The user had one page and the receiver (company) had the other page to decipher the first. These pages were usually used once and destroyed, leading to other pages being used on other dates. The "code cracking" may be complicated by this.



Best,
Ed
