When opened the initial interior features a green beize writing slope with brass strengthening mounts to each corner and a key for securing the box to a surface when on the ship which locates in the left hand side of the frame and a bracket to lean the box for reading (see picture 20). To the top of the slope there are multiple compartments for inkwells, pens, pair of candlesticks and other accessories. Under the upper slope there is a secret compartment which can be accessed by using the tip of the key to depress the secret catch located in the top right hand corner strengthening bracket on the second screw across (see picture 10).

Under the lower compartment there is a reading rail which attaches to the outside of the case (see picture 21/22) there are also two further secret compartments, the first is accessed by pressing down the secret mechanism to the middle right hand side of the box (see picture 17). Once pressed the spring loaded mechanism fires forward a secret hatch which the reading rail is located on, this contains small partitioned sections. The third secret compartment can then be accessed by lifting a small tab behind the first secret compartment front.
