Editing Enigma rotor details (section)

==Rotor  offset== 
The effect of rotation on the rotors can be demonstrated with some examples.

As an example, let us take rotor type I of Enigma I (see table below) without any ring setting offset. It can be seen that an {{samp|1=A}} is encoded as an {{samp|1=E}}, a {{samp|1=B}} encoded as a {{samp|1=K}}, and a {{samp|1=K}} is encoded as an {{samp|1=N}}. Notice that every letter is encoded into another.

In the case of the reflectors, in this example Wide {{mono|B}} is taken (Reflector B in the table below) where an {{mono|A}} is returned as a {{mono|Y}} and the {{mono|Y}} is returned as an {{mono|A}}. Notice that the wirings are connected as a loop between two letters.

When a rotor has stepped, the offset must be taken into account to know what the output is, and where it enters the next rotor.

If for example rotor I is in the {{mono|B}}-position, an {{mono|A}} enters at the letter {{mono|B}} which is wired to the {{mono|K}}. Because of the offset this {{mono|K}} enters the next rotor in the {{mono|J}} position.

With the rotors I, II and III (from left to right), wide {{mono|B-reflector}}, all ring settings in {{mono|A-position}}, and start position {{mono|AAA}}, typing {{mono|AAAAA}} will produce the encoded sequence {{mono|BDZGO}}{{citation needed|date=August 2021}}.
