I think by now we all know what an enigma cipher machine is. After all
\nit is the star in many war movies and a classic in cryptography.<\/p>\n

And now I finally know what type of lock it was equipped with. I think
\nit is quite ironical the German device was locked with a UK chubb lock.<\/p>\n

The lock itself is a piece of art. It can be re-keyed on the fly. Just
\nopen the lock with it’s key, and close it with a new key. Now only the
\nnew key can open the lock. Simple and elegant. A pure brilliant design.<\/p>\n

Look at the video clip<\/a> to see a cutaway model of the lock in action.<\/p>\n

* UPDATE: Oli mails there is a misunderstanding. It is not an Enigma lock after all …<\/p>\n

> The guy from chubb told, that this lock was used by UK government to store
\n> high security stuff as the enigma machine, which was taken from one german
\n> submarine by the UK military.<\/p>\n

> Sorry for my bad explanation in Hamburg, but that should be corrected –<\/p>\n
