For some reason a multicolored ice cream dish is called a "bombe" in Italian. Because of these multicolored rotors, this machine was jokingly christened the Turing Bombe.
In the late 19th and early 20th century, Bletchley Park Mansion was home to Sir Herbert Leon, London financier and friend of Lloyd George. Following the death of Sir Herbert and his wife, the building and its land fell into the hands of a property developer, from whom it was acquired in 1938 by the Government Code and Cypher School as a safer venue for their operations. Before long, the Bletchley Park site became the most important communications centre in the history of modern warfare.

After a brilliant but asocial mathematician accepts secret work in cryptography, his life takes a turn to the nightmarish.
From "A Course in Number Theory and Cryptography"...seems like most people know the Euclidean algorithm, but not everyone knows this, and it is pretty cool.

Secure communications between Houstonās Johnson Space Center (JSC) and the orbiting Space Shuttle were vital. As part of a joint effort between NASA, the Department of Defense, and the National Security Agency, the Space Shuttle Encryption System became operational with the launch of Columbia, STS-4, in 1982. This communications console, although it held no cryptographic equipment, configured the crypto units in use between the shuttle and JSC. It was decommissioned with Atlantis, STS-135, on July 21, 2011 at the conclusion of the Space Shuttle Program.
Seen at the National Security Agencyās National Cryptologic Museum, Fort Meade, Maryland.
An observation from someone who is not an expert in cryptography: Cryptography is about converting order (a written or spoken message) to disorder (an encrypted communication with no clear patterns) and vice versa. Thus, I find it interesting that a number of tools for cryptographyāespecially prior to the digital ageāhave a physical order or pattern.
The German IT Security Award, supported by the Horst Goertz Foundation, is the most generous, privately endowed award in Germany. In 2014 the first prize was assigned jointly to KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), FZI (the Information Technology Research Center of KIT) and Wibu-Systems.

Alan Turing was a Reader in Mathematics and Deputy Director of the Computing Machine Laboratory at the Victoria University of Manchester from October 1948 until his death in June 1954. He is famous for his contributions to computing and cryptography, which were so profound that he is often referred to as the 'father of computer science".
While at Manchester, Turing had access to the Manchester and Ferranti Mark I computers. However, for simple calculations or in situations where the Mark I was not available. Turing used a mechanical calculator in common with other computer scientists.
In 1951 Turing obtained a double mechanical calculator-a Britannic Duo.) Double or twin machines are quite unusual-they have two accumulators to perform two linked operations for each turn of the handle. They are particularly efficient in coupled calculations such as two-dimensional co-ordinate transformations, for which a double calculator only requires two cranks of the handle in place of the four cranks required on a single calculator.
[Alan Turing's order for a Britannic Duo mechanical October 1951,]
The machine was kept at the University's Department of Computer Science until 1989, before being loaned to the Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester where it was on display until 2017.
Turing's breakthrough in morphogenesis
Turing was fascinated by morphogenesis-the formation of patterns in biology-developing a system of partial differential equations based on a reaction-diffusion system that accounted for the main phenomena of morphogenesis. He published this in his seminal work. The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis, in August 1952. To test his work on morphogenesis he used linear approximations to solve the equations by hand, possibly using this calculator.
The diagram is one of Turing's calculated results from The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis, of which he wrote:"This process is very convenient for computation, and can also be applied to two dimensions. Figure 2 shows such a pattern, obtained in a few hours by a manual computation."Turing's Duo calculator would have been well suited to the computation of this result, although the time between obtaining the calculator and submitting his paper for publication was short. In the 70 years since its publication, Turing's theory of morphogenesis has stood the test of time as an explanation of the formation of some biological structures. It has also found application in pure and applied chemistry, geomorphology, plant biology, ecology, sociology and astrophysics.
DIY One Time Pad
In cryptography, the one-time pad (OTP) is an encryption technique that cannot be cracked, but requires the use of a one-time pre-shared key the same size as, or longer than, the message being sent. In this technique, a plaintext is paired with a random secret key (also referred to as a one-time pad).

Michele Reilly is a scientist, an artist, and a systems thinker whose work resists easy classification. She trained in architecture and art at Cooper Union, where she began building intelligent machines and quickly became fascinated by the logic behind them. That curiosity drew her into mathematics, cryptography, macroeconomics, and eventually quantum physics. Her path has been shaped less by credentials than by the depth of her questions.
At MIT, where she teaches in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michele works at the intersection of computation and the structure of spacetime. She explores how information flows through the universe, drawing from Claude Shannonās foundational theories and extending them into the quantum realm. Her research is ambitious, but it is rooted in careful thinking. She is not interested in speculation for its own sake. She wants to know what can be built, what can be measured, and what will last.
In 2016, she co-founded Turing, a quantum technology startup focused on building portable quantum memories and tools for long-distance quantum communication. She works closely with physicist Seth Lloyd on designing the scalable, robust systems needed to move quantum computing from theory into practice. The work is intricate and deliberate, building slowly toward a future that she sees as both beautiful and unfamiliar.
Michele is also a storyteller. Her science fiction series Steeplechase has received awards at Cannes and other international festivals. It reflects her belief that narrative and science are not separate pursuits, but parallel ways of exploring the unknown. In her teaching, she brings these strands together, guiding students through exercises that combine quantum theory, creative writing, and world-building. One of her courses, supported by MITās Center for Art, Science and Technology, invites students to imagine speculative futures grounded in scientific inquiry.
On her arm is a tattoo of Alan Turing. It is not ornamental. It is a quiet tribute to a thinker whose life and work continue to shape her own. Turingās dedication to truth, structure, and the ethical weight of technology is a constant presence in her thinking. She carries it with her, quite literally.
The portrait above was made at The Interval at the Long Now Foundation in San Francisco. Michele is seated beside a polished table that reflects her image. Behind her stands the Orrery, a planetary model designed to keep time for ten thousand years. The setting reflects the spirit of her work. She is grounded in the present but always thinking forward, asking how we might live in ways that honor complexity, care, and continuity. She does not speak often about legacy. She speaks about attention, about precision, and about the discipline of staying with difficult questions until they begin to yield something real.
