Sporting dozens of colorful knobs, this is the awesome British Bombe electro-mechanical codebreaking machine which only had one purpose: to determine the rotor settings on the German cipher machine 'ENIGMA' during WW2.
The Bombe was a development of an original Polish 'cryptologic bomb', designed in 1938 by Polish Cipher Bureau cryptologist Marian Rejewski. Alan Turing also was one of the original designers of this machine, which succesfully emulated the wheel-settings of the ENIGMA machine.
