Total Views: 269

Important WWII 10-Rotor "Enigma" Ciphering Machine, c. 1938 Designated the "Secret Writer T 52c" by Siemens & Halske AG, use of the 10-rotor class was reserved for elite members of the German armed forces and certain important embassies abroad, its codes have remained unbreakable to this day! The machine features ten wheels (rotors) with ten different sequences of numbers, in addition to a built-in "Enigma" clock-type booster with a further twenty frequencies. Only 6 ten-rotor machines are known worldwide, 4 of them in public museums. This example is the best-equipped and most advanced model that we have ever seen. - A historical phenomenon in the history of the WWII, the development of cryptography and the birth of the electro-mechanical computer. - In superb condition!
