Re: The Bombe
I like it too Brian, an interesting shot.

Yes I am a bit like a binary computer two drinks and I have all the answers. Maybe that is what is meant by fuzzy logic. Originally Posted by dje

Re: The Bombe
The "Bombe" was one of the first computers and was used to decipher the German Nazi Codes from their Enigma Machine. Bletchley Park was where the code breakers worked and where the code was broken. One of the most fascinating stories of World War II. I'd love to visit there someday.

The Bombe
I had the pleasure of visiting Bletchley Park to attend a two week training course in the early to mid 1980's. Unfortunately at that time the museum wasn't in existence or if it was I wasn't aware of it. However the wartime huts were still in existence though we're not mentioned wrt the code breaking which took place in them. Originally Posted by rpcrowe

Maybe a case of if I told you I'd have to kill you :-)Last edited by ST1; 26th August 2015 at 07:21 PM.
