{wiki=Hebern_rotor_machine}
The Hebern rotor machine is a type of early mechanical cipher machine invented by American inventor William F. Hebern in the early 20th century, around 1917. It was designed to encrypt and decrypt messages using a combination of rotors, which are disks that rotate to change the substitutions of letters in the plaintext. The Hebern machine operates similarly to other rotor machines, such as the more famous Enigma machine used by the Germans during World War II.
