Wehrmacht Enigma
To demonstrate the complexities of ciphers, cryptography and codebreaking, James Grime brought along this original Wehrmacht Enigma 1, now 80 years old, and used by the German air force and army. It works perfectly. The only concession to modernity is the replacement battery.
This Enigma machine is serial number A6551, and is owned by none other than Simon Singh, author of The Code Book and Fermat's Last Theorem.
