I love this, my dissertation at uni was on the Enigma machine and I built a configurable one in software (Java) and it was fascinating to me that once you matched the spec of the real machine you got matching letter for letter encryption and decryption of real messages. The day my outer acceptance tests started working was amazing! The fact this needs no power is brilliant. Makes it surprising now they didn’t come up with it being a pure mechanical version back then and relied on the electrical current. Would love to try this out in the flesh.
