#VirtualEnigma is coming to a browser near you to celebrate Alan Turing's Birthday! That means you've only got to wait until 23rd June 2021. It is fully browser based so no install required & should run on most modern systems. From WW2 to WWW @tnmoc @bletchleypark @threejs_org

Virtual Fialka M-125 : Wheel transport mechanism. It's complex already & I've only just begun! 3 of 10 rotors in place, you can see how the clever interlaced arrangement of fingers move with each alternate rotor pulled a different direction. @cryptomuseum @tnmoc @bletchleypark

Wow! That's amazing work, love the load of extra detail you've added. The sound effects, light flickering, the reflected light from the screen .. really really impressive!

Here is an updated look on the PDP-1 emulator, with some experiment for augmented immersion and ease of use.

Any suggestion on what you would like to see/improve are more than welcome!

I've been looking at the Fialka M-125's movement mechanism. A complex interlocked set of fingers are pulled apart. Each finger tracks the pins on the rotor 2 up from itself which allows a tooth to engage (or not) to turn a step. Even & odd rotors turn in opposing directions!
