	Bombe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Using Polish cryptological techniques, British cryptanalysts at Bletchley Park were, at the beginning of World War II, able to read Enigma messages by exploiting weaknesses in German operating procedures.
		The first bombe, which was based on Turing's original design and so lacked a diagonal board, arrived at Bletchley Park in March 1940 and was named "Victory." The second bombe – "Agnus" – was equipped with Welchman's diagonal board, and was installed on 8 August 1940; bombes of this type were called "Spider" bombes.
		A crash program was begun at Bletchley Park to design bombes that could decrypt the four-rotor system, with delivery scheduled for August or September 1942.

		The number of people working at Bletchley Park grew throughout the war to a point where there were literally thousands of people working around the clock decoding and analysing messages.
		Such was the culture of secrecy at Bletchley Park that no word of what happened began to emerge until the mid 1970's.
		Had the sequence of obscuring characters been truly random it would have been impossible to break the code, luckily for the code breakers, the sequence was generated by rotating mechanical wheels and was a repeating pseudo random sequence — if this sequence could be unravelled the code could be broken.
