How to make a cipher table according to James Lovell's polyalphabetic substitution system. Tables for keywords John (upper-left) and FOR (lower-right) are shown. When a cipher table is ready, plaintext letters are enciphered into numbers by using each column in turn. For example, to encipher PEACE with keyword FOR, the first letter P is looked up in the first column, which gives number 11. Then, the second letter E is looked up in the second column, which now gives number 18. The cipher for A, looked up in the third column, is 11. Next, the first column is used again to look up C, resulting in 25. The last E is encphered as 18, using the second column. Thus, PEACE is enciphered as 11 18 11 25 18. A sample sheet eciphered with this system is shown on Page 111 of this roll (Roll 72), in which the sequence "11 18 11 25 18" appears at the end.
