The Lektor decoder was a highly sort after decoding machine,
used by Soviet Intelligence to de-compile coded and highly sensitive
documents. The machine was so valuable to MI6 that they tried
to get their hands on it.
Use
The Lektor was in fact part of a trap in which a cipher clerk,
Tatiana, and Bond would steal the decoder. After it was stolen,
SPECTRE came after them in an assassination attempt to get the
Lektor and sell it back to the Soviets.
Specs
The Lektor was the same size as a typewriter; the unit was in
a brown leather case. Inside it contained small buttons, a coded
data strip was inserted into a slot, and out of another slot came
the decoded message on a strip of paper.
