I found a great test sequence here: https://www.codesandciphers.org.uk/enigma/example1.htm
written by Tony Sale the original curator of the Bletchley Park Museum, which I will start using after I finish
my sleep (I have weird sleeping hours, 3 A.M. est to 6 A.M. est, then I get up and have breakfast, log on to
forum, sleep again until 11:30 A.M. est, part of senior living).
So, I was rotating the rotors forward when text was moving forward and reverse when code was moving in reverse
but rotor apparently is always moving forward, even on the return trip (reflector towards right rotor). Which makes
more sense.
The patch board should be quite simple.
