The use of these pin wheels would return in many later Hagelin machines with huge commercial success for the C-36, M-209 and C(X)-52. The prototype, build in 1925, was approved by the Swedish Army and later on sold also to some other countries. The commercial breakthrough however was an adapted version for the French Army. This portable machine, designated B-211, had a printing mechanism and could be operated with a crank in case of power failure. The rotor ciphering electric circuit was powerd by a battery.
