 VIC cipher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although certainly not as complex or secure as modern computer operated stream ciphers or block ciphers, in practice messages protected by it resisted all attempts at cryptanalysis by at least NSA (and perhaps other organizations such as GCHQ) from its discovery in 1953 until Hayhanen's defection in 1957.
The VIC cipher has several components, including a base 10 lagged Fibonacci generator, a straddling checkerboard, and a disrupted double transposition.
Until the discovery of VIC, it was generally thought that a double transposition alone was the most complex cipher an agent, as a practical matter, could use as a field cipher.

Another form of straddling checkerboard sometimes seen is simpler than the one given above for converting letters to digits.
Instead of trying to reflect letter frequencies, a straddling checkerboard like the following only acknowledges the fact that the space is a very common character:

At 6,190 feet the road reached its summit and in an arid and sandy countryside, we began the twisting descent to the eastern edge of Zion National Park.
This very hilly area is known as the Checkerboard Mesa, and is composed of a fantastic array of yellow, red, and orange sandstone eroded into gullies and exposed rock-faces revealing the stratification and shapes of the huge sand-dunes from which the present-day rocks were formed.
For the next two or three miles there followed the most exhilarating drive as the road twisted and turned downhill until we were stopped by park rangers at the entrance to a tunnel cut into the vertical rock-face straddling the road.

Also note that by choosing to use 10+m, 10+n as the widths, the maximum number of digits ever actually required from the 5x10 table will be 49 (39 for transposition keys plus 10 for the checkerboard key), while the minimum number would be 33 (23 for transp keys plus 10 for the checkerboard).

Morse code uses variable-length symbols made up of dots and dashes, but unlike a straddling checkerboard, the length of a symbol is not determined by the dots and dashes within it.
One way to deal with that is to change the table, so that those 9 spaces are instead filled by two symbols from the ABC set of symbols.

 Cryptography-Digest Digest #660
The critical 10 digits serve to generate a "key sequence" of digits used to key not only the straddling checkerboard, but also two transpositions.
Those three stages (viz., substitution via straddling checkerboard, followed by the two different transpositions), seem to be the essence of the cipher.
Also, the steps leading up to the critical 10 digits do serve to incorporate a sender-created message key (unique to each message) into the cipher, thus helping to ensure that the "key sequence" is not repeated in other messages.

 Cheap Trick - At Budokan Complete
For a few glorious years in the late '70s, Cheap Trick embodied everything exciting and life-affirming about rock 'n' roll: pretty-boy singers in white suits, arsenals of flying-V guitars in all colors of the rainbow, panting choruses that were perfect backseat-teen-sex soundtracks, checkerboard patterns.
Though Cheap Trick's career has waned over the past decade, anyone who's seen them steamroll through their white-hot, hyper-speed sets--with all the energy of a juvie punk band fresh off Ritalin--knows they've still "got it." Plus, the octave-straddling voice of golden-haired, golden-throated Robin Zander remains THE best in rock, hands-down.
