	Hebern Rotor Machine
		The Hebern Rotor Machine was an electro-mechanical encryption machine built by combining the mechanical parts of a standard typewriter with the electrical parts of an electric typewriter, connecting the two through a scrambler.
		It is the first example of a class of machines known as the rotor machines that would became the primary form of encryption during World War II and for some time after, and included such famous examples as the German Enigma.
		Prior to the introduction of the Hebern machine, encryption almost always consisted of matching the plaintext to be encyphered against a set of substitution alphabets[?], randomized series of letters.

	Cryptology \| Rotor Systems: Basic Design
		Machines were the obvious next step in cryptography, and Hebern, Koch, and Damm all attacked the problem in similar ways.
		The basic rotor system first created by all three employed a typewriter which was used for input, a series of rotor disks, and then either a printing mechanism or lightbulb system which displayed the ciphertext.
		The edges of the rotor were split into 26 equal sections and the letters of a randomly created ciphertext alphabet written in each space.

	The ECM Mark II, also known as SIGABA, M-134-C, and CSP-889
		When using the machine, the ten 26-contact rotors were first set to their starting positions, which were the ones marked by the letter O instead of the ones marked with the letter A that one might expect, usually with the aid of an automatic feature in the machine.
		Although the mechanical gears that usually moved the control rotors were not active during this setup mode, each time a number key was pressed, the cipher rotors moved based on the electrical signal travelling through the control and index rotors in the same way as during normal encipherment.
		Machines of the ECM Mark II type used for a communications link between the President of the U.S. and the Prime Minister of the U.K., which was called "POTUS-PRIME", were operated in a fashion that produced additional security.

		In cryptography, a rotor machine is an electro-mechanical device used for encrypting and decrypting secret messages.
		The most widely known example of a rotor machine is the German Enigma machine used during World War II, of which there were a number of variants.

		Synchro - A synchro is a type of rotary electrical transformer that is used for measuring the angle of a rotating machine such as an antenna platform.
		The primary winding of the transformer, fixed to the rotor, is excited by a sinusoidal electric current, which by electromagnetic induction causes currents to flow in three star-connected secondary windings fixed at 120 degrees to each other on the stator.

		A current passing through the rotor disk might enter in the position of letter B and exit in the position of letter G. Encipherment occurs by passing the current through several rotors that are side by side and rotating one or more of the rotors between each character enciphered.
		Rotor Arrangement.-The ten rotors used each day are arranged in the middle and rear positions of the cipher unit in accordance with the key list applicable to the cryptosystem.
		Rotors marked 2, 3, 9, 1, and 5 (disregarding the tens digits) will be inserted in the control position in that order, from left to right, as the operator face the converter, with rotors number 3 and 9 reversed.

		And the most straightforward type of rotor machine is the one invented by Edward Hebern, in the United States.
		Other cipher machines, operating on different principles, but with rotating parts (such as the Hagelin lug and pin machines, or the Lorenz SZ-40) which operate on entirely different principles, have occasionally been referred to in print as "rotor machines".
		I wish to disparage this trend, as it would make the term "rotor machine" much less useful, by causing it no longer to refer to a family of cipher machines which all are based on a common cryptographic principle.

	Rotor Machine Basics
		The reason for the slow rotors moving after every 650 letters was because the machine was designed to avoid having the slow rotor moving at exactly the same time as the medium rotor, since having all the rotors move together seemed like a weakness.
		The path of electricity through the first rotor stays the same; but the movement of the second rotor has brought a second wire into contact with the electricity; the wire formerly used is shown as a dotted line in its new position.
		The third rotor has not moved, but since the electrical current has left the second rotor from a different contact, a different wire in that rotor is used also, the old one also shown as a dotted line, but this time in the same position.

	Enigma machine Summary
		The machine has gained notoriety because Allied cryptologists were able to decrypt a large number of messages that had been enciphered on the machine.
		Approximately 10 cm in diameter, each rotor is a disk made of hard rubber or bakelite with a series of brass spring-loaded pins on one face arranged in a circle; on the other side are a corresponding number of circular electrical contacts.
		However, a different initial rotor position was chosen for each message, because if a number of messages are sent encrypted with identical or near-identical settings, a cryptanalyst has several messages "in depth", and might be able to attack the messages using frequency analysis.

	Hebern rotor machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the user pressed a key on the typewriter keyboard, a small amount of current from a battery flowed through the key into one of the contacts on the input side of the disk, through the wiring, and back out a different contact.
		This turns the basic substitution into a polyalphabetic one similar to the well known Vigenère cipher, with the exception that it required no manual lookup of the keys or cyphertext.
		To decrypt the message, they turned the rotor around in its socket so it was "backwards", thus reversing all the substitutions.

		From 1921 and continuing through the next decade, Hebern constructed a series of steadily improving rotor machines that were evaluated by the U.S. Navy.
		The only advantage of these electronic rotor machines was their speed of operation and they inherited the inherent weaknesses of the mechanical rotor machines.
		When the fast rotor got to a certain position it would cause the middle rotor to be rotated to one position, which in turn could cause the slow rotor to move one position.

		Many of these earliest machines, including Turri's, were developed to allow the blind to write.
		In 1829 William Austin Burt patented a machine called the "Typographer." Like many of these other early machines, it is sometimes listed as the "first typewriter;" the (London) Science Museum describes it merely as "the first writing mechanism whose invention was documented," but even that claim may be excessive since Turri's machine is well known.
		There was, however, a much more expensive proportionally-spaced machine called the Selectric Composer which was considered a typesetting machine rather than a typewriter.
