My Enigma - E

Marc Simons and Paul Reuvers  released a kit for those who want to create their own electrical version of "Enigma", the nazi electrical enciphering machine, after two years of work in the Spring of 2003. You can buy the kit from Bletcheley Park Museum (GB) or from Jan Corver museum (NL).
The pictures in this page show my Enigma - E, built with the help of Massimiliano Torrusio (ComputerLab - Vallo della Lucania - Sa) for the electronic part and for soldering it and Giuseppe Mingarelli (Mingarelli - Tecnologie Trasparenti - Salerno) for the beautiful plexiglas case.
