Museum of Anacronistic Computation Phineas Farington, Director

Kathy. Have you had a look at the latest acquisition? On Tuesday an anonymous donor brought by a small box of items. After some research we determined that the original owner of the items was a spy who was active during the late 1940's during the early days of the Cold War.

Among the most intriguing of the items is a coded telegram and an encryption machine that uses cryptographic rotors placed alongside each other to encrypt and decrypt messages. The machine is broken beyond repair but our consultant produced a drawing of how it would have worked.

We're in the process of salvaging what we can from the device to display in our ever- growing "Al B. Frank Memorial Cryptographic Machines With Rotors Throughout History" wing of the museum. I would like you to create a computer simulation of the device that runs alongside the device itself. Our consultant is available to answer your questions.

Thanks Kathy! -Phin
