A. ELCRODAT
ELCRODAT Model 4-1D. It was used for bulk encryption of trunks in an Area Communication System called AUTOKO which was produced by Siemens. The device was only used by the 2nd Danish Signal Battalion, as they were they only battalion to use the AUTOKO-system. This was done because their German sister-battalion (610 GE SigBN) in Rendsburg used the system. Both batallions provided a field headquarters LANDJUT Rear (Danish) and LANDJUT Main (German) with communications.
