The full mechanism will involve 3 rotors in the configuration of the German Enigma.
Overview:
Every time a character is inputted, it goes through each rotor, through a reflector, and then back through all the rotors again, changing the character 7 times in total.
Whenever a key is pressed, the first rotor moves one position forward (after the character is changed). At a specific position of the first rotor, both the first and second rotor are changed when a letter is inputted. The same will happen at a specific point in the second rotor so that when both the first and second rotor are aligned correctly, all three rotors will rotate one position at the same time.
