Abstract: The drawroll unit has a heatable galette in which the shaft of the gallette is mounted in bearings which, in turn, are mounted via vibration damping devices in a stationary housing. The vibration damping devices may be in the form of bodies of interlaced wire, O-rings or the like. The vibration damping devices serve to damp vibrations of the shaft in a critical speed range within the normal speed range of the rotor so that the galette can be operated at any speed within the normal speed range.

Abstract: Plain text or information which is to be processed at the transmitter end of the system is formed by groups of plain text or information signals which are separated by separation signals. In the absence of plain information signals there are inserted fill signals between the plain information signal groups, these fill signals likewise being separated by separation signals. At the transmitter end there are enciphered, apart from the plain information signals and possibly the fill signals, all or a part of the separation signals. The signal flow which appears at the transmission path no longer is divided in a clearly recognizable manner into individual packets. In order to render possible at the receiver end of the system separation of information signals and fill signals which are insignificant as to their information content, during the course of the transmitter end enciphering the separation signals between the fill signals are provided with an appropriate characteristic or recognition information.

Abstract: An electronic enciphering- and deciphering apparatus in the form of a pocket calculator, comprising an input device for the input of characters to be processed, a control device for the input of control commands determining the function of the apparatus, an output device for the display of information, and a power source for the apparatus. A primary storage or memory serves for the storage of the entered character information, the output side of which can be connected with the output device and a cipher computer which can be connected at its output side with the output device. At least one key character storage is operatively associated with the cipher computer, the key character storage being connectable with the input device. A central control unit can be controlled by the control device.
