Mr John Herivel is giving a lecture at Bletchley Park in May 2006: http://www.nationalcodescentre.org/edu/lectures/prestige.rhtm Gordon Welchman wrote that "if Herivel had not been recruited in January 1940, who would have thought of the Herivel tip, without which we whould have been defeated in May 1940 unable to maintain continuity until the bombes began to arrive many months later? Let there be no misconceptions about this last point. Loss of continuity would, at all stages, have been very serious, if not disastrous." I've written up an entry on the Herivel tip on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herivel_tip Like all articles on Wikipedia, it's really a draft "work in progress"; please feel free to make suggestions or corrections! -- Matt Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Matt_Crypto Blog: http://cipher-text.blogspot.com ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
