Reproduction WWII German Enigma machine clamp assembly

$28.00

BUYER ASSEMBLY REQUIRED The clamp assembly is made up of four pieces:  the bracket, clamp, pin and cap.  In original rotors one edge of the bracket is pinned to the bushing, and the other edge is up against the digit ring.  The cap is inserted in one of the 26 side holes of the digit ring, keeping it from rotating.  The Enigma operator could pry the cap out of the hole and rotate the digit ring to help aid encryption.  In earlier versions the bracket and clamp were made of aluminum:  they have been replaced by spring steel.  The pin and cap remain 6061 aluminum.  The assembly is sold as a set.  NOTE:  the original clamp had a small raised knob [see picture below] to help the operator pry the cap out of the digit ring:  unfortunately the blueprints at my disposal lacked that feature.  The bracket will need two tiny pins, rivets or have to be glued or welded to the clamp.
