Pocket Enigma pieces are coming together! If you want to see the renderings, check out the OpenSCAD source https://github.com/osresearch/enigma
The Enigma has was seems like a somewhat awkward layout. QWERTZ but with L and P on the wrong rows?
@th when you look at a normal keyboard P and L stick out. if you move then to the bottom, the layout is more rectangular fitting better into the box.
You could not write with normal speed anyway because you need to copy the illuminated letter.
@th: QWERTZ is common for German layouts.
Why'd P and L get moved around, I'm not sure, though. But, well, it's a hundred-year-old machine, and keyboard layouts back then were a matter of customs, not standards yet.
The new base plate and more solid bearing blocks work, although I have to revisit the advance pawls again. The springs have come loose and the impact the centering device housing on the plate.
