Our version of the Bombe can run 3 different wheel orders if there are 
12 or less Letchworth Enigmas called up on the menu.

The menu we displayed last week used 13 enigmas so could only be put up 
twice.

Alternatively our machine can be switched to work in Double Input mode 
where all 4 banks of sense relays are used but in this case only 2 menus 
would be plugged and 2 Diagonal Boards used.
