The '''Hebern Rotor Machine''' was an electro-mechanical [[encryption]] machine built by combining the mechanical parts of a standard [[typewriter]] with the electrical parts of an electric typewriter, connecting the two through a scrambler. It is the first example (though just barely) of a class of machines known as [[rotor machine]]s that would become the primary form of encryption during [[World War II]] and for some time after, and which included such famous examples as the [[Germany|German]] [[Enigma (machine)|Enigma]].
