September 2014

In this final highlight from last year’s sell-out day of talks,

Codebreakers’ Legacy, Dr. Joel Greenberg talks about

the vitally important work of another lesser known figure

from GC&CS, Gordon Welchman.

Welchman designed changes to Alan Turing’s Bombe

Machine which was used throughout the war to find the

daily settings for Enigma. He also drew up the

organisational plan for Bletchley Park which ultimately

would enable it to become a “Codebreaking Factory”.

Joel is a Guide & Historian at Bletchley Park & undertook

with the support of the Welchman family to write his

biography; Gordon Welchman Bletchley Park's Architect

of Ultra Intelligence which are available to buy at

http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/shop/p.rhtm/130822/764256-Gordon_Welchman_Bletchley_Parks_Architect_of_Ultra_Intelligence_Joel_Greenberg.html

If you would like to attend a similar event at Bletchley Park,

then please go to http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/ & look

in the What’s On section.

The world's only fully-operational Bombe rebuild can be seen

at Bletchley Park.
