if anyone knows where I can find a diagram of all the wheels for the Trident, Shark or just about any other military named enigma that wasn't the 12 wheel hitler used personally (and all the wheels, not just 1 or 2) I would be very grateful


I've tried googling it 6 ways to sunday, I had a promising lead on the letchworth enigmas, but I couldn't find an actual diagram....

Do you know the enigma-emulator (http://w3l.de/enigma/)?

I've seen a few of these, I know for a fact some of them the rotors are wired wrong (like x-a instead of x-c or whatever) it's just I don't want to have to go through and find every released plaintext message, that days settings, it's enciphered copy and then go through and figure out what each wheel was doing,

I'm lazy so I want someone else (like letchworth or say alan turing) to have done the work for me in the figuring out which is wired to which in what wheel, I don't even have the proper skillset to figure it out on my own in a quick fashion even if the materials to properly divine it were readily available......

......I don't even have the proper skillset ....... Me too. Just saw a enigma a few weeks ago at the computer departement of the Deutsches Museum (http://www.deutsches-museum.de/ausstell/meister/e_enigma.htm) here at Munich, but that's only a 3 rotor type.

Try to ask the Cryptofreaks at this forum (http://www.mystery-twister.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6), I think english posting is no problem there.
