In the history of cryptography, the NEMA was a ten wheel rotor machine designed by the Swiss Army during World War two as a replacement for their Enigma machines. NEMA uses ten wheels, of which four are normal electrical rotors with twenty six contacts at each end that are scramble wired in a way unique to each rotor type. One is an electrical reflector with one set of twenty six pairwise cross connected contacts and the remaining five are drive wheels, with mechanical cams that control the stepping of the rotors and the reflector. The wheels are assembled on an axle in pairs consisting of a drive wheel and an electrical rotor.
