Tunny Machine
Un fet rellevant de la Segona Guerra Mundial fou com els desxifradors britanics identificaren les parts i el funcionament de la complexa maquina Lorenz, i la reconstruiren sense mai veure'n cap (fins al final de la guerra). La 'copia' britanica, fisicament a les antipodes de la original alemanya, es aquesta i s'anomenà Tunny Machine.
Bletchley Park és un dels llocs més fascinants de la història del segle XX. Aquí, durant la II Guerra Mundial i buscant la manera de desxifrar els codis militars alemanys, en sorgí la informàtica i els ordinadors.

========================================================
The Tunny Machine was the british copy, reverse-enginered, of the german Lorenz SZ-42 cipher machine. It's quite impressive how the people at Bletchley Park, specially John Tiltman and William Tutte. Tutte was who discovered the intern workings of Lorenz without even seeing one, just by it's cipher system.
Bletchley Park is one of the most amazing historical places related to the XX Century in general and to WWII in particular. Here, during the colossal effort to crack the german military codes, computers and computing science were born (or at least had their main intial development).
