- Enigma enthusiasts, history-minded makers, and mechanical cipher learners
- Worth noticing
- The page gives a sample starting at AAA: typing AAAAA produces BDZGO on its simplified simulator.
Field notes
The page breaks the mechanism into five steps, from the shared key bail to the lamp circuit, and explains how rotor notches produce the double step. Its simulator uses rotors I–III, reflector B, and no plugs by default; the site notes that the full machine adds ring settings, five rotors, and a plugboard. The physical machine’s availability is not established by the supplied page evidence.
