The Schlüsselgerät 39 (SG-39) was an electrically operated rotor cipher machine, invented by the German Fritz Menzer during World War II. The device was the evolution of the Enigma rotors coupled with three Hagelin pin wheels to provide variable stepping of the rotors. All three wheels stepped once with each encipherment. Rotors stepped according to normal Enigma rules, except that an active pin at the reading station for a pin wheel prevented the coupled rotor from stepping. The cycle for a normal Enigma was 17,576 characters. When the Schlüsselgerät 39 was correctly configured, its cycle length was characters, which was more than 15,000 times longer than a standard Enigma. The Schlüsselgerät 39 was fully automatic, in that when a key was pressed, the plain and cipher letters were printe

| - Das Schlüsselgerät 39 (SG-39) war eine Rotor-Schlüsselmaschine, die in den 1930er-Jahren im Deutschen Reich von der Firma Telefonbau & Normalzeit (T&N) entwickelt wurde. 1939 wurde ein Prototyp fertiggestellt und dem Heereswaffenamt vorgelegt; jedoch wegen angeblich fehlender Serienreife nicht akzeptiert. 1943 und 1944 wurde das Projekt zeitweilig wiederbelebt, zu einer Serienfertigung kam es dennoch nicht. Das Schlüsselgerät 39 wurde im Zweiten Weltkrieg nicht eingesetzt. (de)

When the Schlüsselgerät 39 was correctly configured, its cycle length was characters, which was more than 15,000 times longer than a standard Enigma. The Schlüsselgerät 39 was fully automatic, in that when a key was pressed, the plain and cipher letters were printed on separate paper tapes, divided into five-digit groups. The Schlüsselgerät 39 was abandoned by German forces in favour of the Schlüsselgerät 41. (en)
