A mechanical Enigma Replica
|
|
|
After seeing a documentary on the Enigma, back in 1998, Marc Dement in
the USA got totally hooked on it. Like many others, he spend many hours
searching the Internet for just about anything he could find on the matter.
In a few months time, he figured out how the machine worked and decided to
make a look-a-like, with wired rotors, proper keys, etc.
He used the key tops from an old typewriter, which should be relatively
easy to get in the US for a fist full of dollars. Aircraft rivets were used
for the stems, which engage the DPDT momentary switches below them.
All face material is 1/4 inch plastic with a wrinkle paint finish.
The rotors are fully wired and will encode just like a real Enigma, however
at present there is no mechanism to advance the rotors automatically when
a key is pressed.
