[Milsurplus] LST-325

[Bob Wilder]

Hi all:  Another item that we would like to add to the communication museum 
aboard the LST-325
is a M-209 (Army/Air Corp) CSP-1500 (USN/USMC) cipher unit.  These were 
sold by the thousands
by many including Sears after the war.  The common name for the unit was 
"Coffee Grinder". I used
one as late as 1951-52 while training radio operators during the Korean War.
