Been testing K4 as a mechanical clock, not a text cipher. Using Sanborn’s alphabet (KRYPTOSABCDEFGHIJLMNQUVWXZ) as a 26-letter ring, start at J, then for each ciphertext letter do: Plaintext = (Ciphertext − pointer) mod 26, rotate 1. First 10 steps give O-B-K-R-U-O-X-O-G-H minus J-N-Z-G-G-S-E-H-C-X = F-O-L-L-O-W-T-H-E-K. The 24-step Berlin Clock vs 26 letters creates the drift that generates the rest. Can anyone else run the first 20 by hand and see if it stays coherent?
