Turing’s Bombe: Engineering Marvel

Alan Turing’s Bombe, developed in 1940, was an electromechanical device that expedited Enigma decryption. By testing rotor settings, it reduced the time needed to crack codes from years to hours. Its success relied on Turing’s mathematical insights and teamwork at Bletchley Park (Copeland, 2012). What made the Bombe so effective? Ask our AI assistant!
