> Lawrence 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.
