Summary

Description
English: Vernam cipher patent, Figure 1. This drawing shows Gilbert Vernam's original concept for a teletype encryption machine that combines plaintext characters (C) with characters on a key paper tape (D) using an XOR function. The XOR takes place at relays 19 through 25. If both the C and D contacts are open, no voltage is applied to the relay coil. If both C and D contacts are closed, voltage is applied to both ends of the relay coil, so the relay contacts stay open. If just one of contacts C and D are closed, current flows through the relay coil, closing its contact.
