Alan Turing

Installing the first Bombe

Monday Mar 18, 1940
Bletchley, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England, United Kingdom

Within weeks of arriving at Bletchley Park, Turing had specified an electromechanical machine called the bombe, which could break Enigma more effectively than the Polish bomba kryptologiczna, from which its name was derived. The first bombe was installed on 18 March 1940.
