Abstract

The peak of mechanical cryptography was reached in World War II, then electronics rapidly replaced these machines. A very remarkable technology then ended. Some of the best examples that I have found will be illustrated. The paper continues with some memories of building the first computer at NPL during 1947 to 1950.
