If anyone here doesn't know about the astonishingly intricate hand-machined electromechanical contraptions by Tatjana van Vark, a dutch trans woman, allow me to happily introduce you.
Among her creations are an Enigma-esque cryptography machine, including teletext and morse send/receive attachments, and a mechanical Fourier analyser "Harmonium". She has also carefully restored a mechanical telephone exchange and a WW2 aerial bombing computer.
