New addition : Dr. David Hatch Senior Historian of NSA's Center for Cryptologic History and Craig Bauer have confirmed and all the arrangements are in place for the display of a SIGABA Machine at the Charlotte International Cryptologic Symposium.
SIGABA, a US cipher machine based on the rotor principle was developed in the late 1930s as a combined effort of the US Army and Navy.

At the time it was considered a superior cryptomachine, intended to keep high-level communications absolutely secure. It was so reliable that it was used throughout the 1950s, the KL7 replaced it.

As far as it is known, SIGABA was never broken.
