The machine is a TG-7. I have two, I think. There are actually two
cabinets for it. For transport, part of the machine is in each cabinet, to reduce
weight. If I recall, the base and keyboard in one and the typing unit and
cover in the other. In operation, the cabinet base sits on top of the
cabinet top. And the other cabinet is used as a seat for the operator.
But as far as the claim that there are more Enigma machines than TG-7's, I
sorta doubt that. :-)
