+<p>Recently we saved this large (70cm by 60cm) and wonderful "decoder" from scrap
+at a local university. This device translates 5 bit telegraph codes to their
+corresponding characters. It has been built as a demonstration object by the
+university's machine shop sometime between 1937 and 1949 and has been used
+extensively in lectures.<br>
+Principle of operation: A 5 bit value is set by means of the large levers. Then
+the code wheel is turned slowly until the correct character is in the top
+position which is denoted by lighting a lamp. If, e.g., 10101 is set and the
+code wheel is turned, the lamp will be lit under the character "Y".<br>
+What once was state-of-the-art technology is now used as a decoding device for
+our experimental workshops. There kids can decipher texts given in binary and
+thus gain experience with binary data representation.</p>
