Wear Part of Bletchley Park on Your Wrist |
By
the time you read this it will probably be too late to be an original
owner of this very limited edition 'Codebreaker'
watch, made by the prestigious UK Bremont Watch Company. Each Codebreaker
watch will incorporate a piece of pine wood from the iconic Hut 6 and
numbers from some rare, original punch cards used in wartime machines
that carried out rapid analysis of encrypted message systems
to assist the Codebreakers. Each watch will also have incorporated into
its rotor, material from an original Enigma machine
rotor.
Speaking of
Bletchley Park news, the WWII era
Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator
(Edsac) restoration project recently reached
a key milestone. Edsac is built of 3,000 valves
(vacuum tubes) spread across 140 separate
shelves.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
