Here I was thinking in 21st century logic that you could repeatedly press a character as if it were electronic, and it would repeat the same encoding. I'm not sure if that made sense, but I've worked out what I did wrong :p

Basically you cant start trying to decode your message again (if you muck up half way through it) unless the "Walzenlage" are in the correct beginning position.

Is it naughty to use the previous message reel code to encode another? :hmm:

I have no idea what that means.

I don't think I'm decoding it properly.
