The M4
Enigma (M7772/jla/1944) courtesy of David Hamer. The rotor order is... from left
to right.. V, II, I (Z E Q) and the
Nine letter separation. |

Now, as
shown below, if I press a key, they all turn
(except for the left ,4th, rotor) and I get a new set of letters in the
windows... A, A, F, R
as you would expect. The left A does not turn, Z rotates to A, E rotates to F, Q rotates to R, just like the alphabet progresses. (Position 'A' on the 'Greek' Gamma rotor emulates the 3 wheel Enigma wiring and is only rotated by the operator for a daily setting). |

will always be in this order when - setup this |

| Pressing the key again will now just advance the right most rotor from 'R' to 'S'. |
