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.
