Hagelin developed this cipher machine for high level military and diplomatic encryption.
In 1952 Hagelin Cryptos (Crypto AG) introduced the notorious C-52, raising the security of drum-and-lug devices to another level.
The machine had 6 irregular moving pinwheels, selected from a set of 12, and the number of drum bars was extended to 32, of which 5 where also used to advance the wheels.

 Re: Cryptographer jailed for selling crypto to political opposition?
Crypto AG is the current name of the Hagelin company, which was founded by Boris Hagelin shortly before WW2.
Hagelin's main contribution was the advancement of the mechanical rotor system; their M-209 was a basic part of Allied battlefield operations.
This machine was about the size of a desk phone base, and had a little knob which you'd turn to the letter you wanted to enter, one letter at a time, and after each letter you'd press a handle, whicc would operate the mechanism and printo out both a cleartext and ciphertext strip on paper.

 The Hagelin Machines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Although the Swiss firm founded by Boris Hagelin has manufactured, and continues to manufacture, many kinds of cipher machine, the words "Hagelin machine" will normally inspire thoughts of their unique lug and pin based machines.
In the C-38, used by the U.S. Army as the M-209, six pinwheels, with 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, and 26 positions on them, can be set by the user with an arbitrary series of pins that are active.
The C-52, a postwar version of the Hagelin lug and pin machine, added an extra five sliding bars to the cage that, instead of moving the cipher alphabet, caused the stepping of the pinwheels to be irregular.

Boris Hagelin of Sweden (and later Switzerland) created a whole range of machines during his lifetime and the Germans had a pretty distinguished history in this area themselves ­ note particularly the Enigma and Lorenz machines.
After WWII, Germany was prevented from developing code and cipher systems of her own and so went out to the market and bought in the rights to make machines from Hagelin and Crypto AG of Zug.
Crypto AG’s CD-57 became the STG61 and with some slight differences and improvements, the C-52 became the Hell 54 (1954).

One of the major NSA success stories since its establishment on October 24, 1952 was the rigging of the encryption machines of the Swiss company Crypto AG in a secret deal cut between NSA’s William Friedman and Boris Hagelin, the developer of the Hagelin cipher machine used by the Allies in World War II.
The encryption mechanisms, according to a U.S. intelligence source, were contained in an electronically programmable read-only memory (EPROM) unit known as HC6800 (the “HC” standing for “Hagelin Cipher”).
