Detailed explanation-1: -The first bombe was named “Victory". It was installed in “Hut 1” at Bletchley Park on 18 March 1940. It was based on Turing’s original design and so lacked a diagonal board.
Detailed explanation-2: -Once it had convinced the British government of the importance of its work and thus received sufficient funding, Bletchley Park built machines that put Turing’s theories into practice. They were called Bombes (or bombes), due to their resemblance to Rejewski’s bombas.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cracking the code Just one day after the UK declared war on Germany, mathematician Alan Turing reported for duty at Bletchley Park – the top-secret nerve centre for codebreaking during the war. While there, Turing built a device known as the Bombe.
Detailed explanation-4: -During the Second World War, the German Armed Forces sent 1000s of Enigma encrypted messages every day. To crack this seemingly unbreakable cipher, the Allies turned to an electromechanical machine to do the job-the Bombe. The Turing-Welchman Bombe was a marvel of engineering and ingenuity.
