Dr Mark Baldwin demonstrates his 4-rotor Engima machine
This is one of the few working 4-rotor Enigma machines in captivity. It belongs to Enigma expert and trustee of the Bletchley Park Museum Dr Marl Baldwin. He gave a talk on the German Enigma coding machines, the Bletchley Park cryptographers, and the WW2 Battle of the Atlantic, at Napier University, Edinburgh, on 2008/04/12.
He is seen here demonstrating the machine after that talk. A closer more detailed view of the machine can be seen here.
I could have arranged to take a better photograph by doing a bit of "I've got a big camera! Let me through!" stuff, but I'm shy. So I simply used the pop-up flash, and using a legs-together tripod as a pole, managed to get the camera round the back and overhead to get this shot. I roughly composed the shot by peering across at the LCD set on a slant so I could see it, and shot using a remote shutter release.
