A most rare book
Mr. Figl was during the First World War engaged in Austrian cryptology
Systeme des Chiffrierens von A. Figl, issued in 1926
The according: Figl's Beilagen (attachments) (PDF)
AOB: The 'Beilagen' (attachments) caused me considerable difficulties; as they differ each from one another in lengths, and more annoying - quite many exceeding widely the regular A4 page-length. Consequently, I had to combine each one accordingly together, which was a time consuming endeavour. Luckily, I posses some experience. Another consideration was, how should we reproduce them? I decided, after all, to convert it into PDF, as this format allows us to selected a mode - which allows us 'printing what you see' on your screen. Otherwise printing might be blocked by the message that the paper size isn't matching.
But apparently Andreas Figl was hampered by the circumstances of his days, and did not extend this publication.
In quite recent times, Figl's personality, and his wider reaching impact, after all, was not yet forgotten:
