La part mecànica / The mechanics of Bombe

Bletchley Park és un dels llocs més fascinants de la historia del segle XX. Aquí, durant la II Guerra Mundial i buscant la manera de desxifrar els codis militars alemanys, en sorgí la informatica i els ordinadors.

 

Vista interna d'una maquina 'Bombe'. La 'Bombe' fou creada per Alan Turing i Gordon Welchman a partir d'un model polonès, que permetia ajudar a desxifrar els codis de la famosa maquina Enigma del III Reich. Tot i que foren destruides totes despres de la guerra, amb molt esforç ara han pogut reconstruir-ne una, que funciona com les seves predecesores.

========================================================

 

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).

 

This is the back side of a Bombe machine, in Bletchley Park. The Bombe machine was a device created by Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman to help decyphering the famous german Enigma machine. Although all 'bombes' were destroyed after the war, the team in the museum has rebuilt this full-working bombe. That's why has the name "Phoenix".
