Secret Communications
Passing on some impressions of the visitors attending
on 23 November 2013
Among the crypto exhibits are, of course, also some of our own exhibits; which also attracted attention. Although, this time not being switched on, Nachtfee is explained at least four times that day.
So far we counted on the first exhibition day on the 16th 92 visitors and on the second occasion on 23 November, 110 attendees
Without further notice, photos are very kindly provided by Peter van Kats
The chairman explaining the technical features of the German long distance wireless (aircraft) installation FuG 10P
At the same time Paul explains some details of the Enigma rotor wheels
We may hardly believe that elsewhere in the world visitors can come so close to Enigma machines!
Marc explains how the Russian Fyalka coding machine works and was operated
He is also showing the mechanical aspects of the uniquely complete Fyalka machine
Marc explains the Fyalka rotor section
Fortunately also the younger generation was present
A good sign is that when technique is sexy enough a wider public can be attracted
I guess, that most people will never have seen, how the Enigma rotor wheel are being taken out of the apparatus
Viewing the rotors of the mother of all Enigma Type D of the year 1926
We may guess, that they both know quite much of the KLB/7 machine
Paul certainly is having a lively conversation about the KW 7 apparatus
On 3.30 started Paul and Marc's lecture about the design of the Russian Fyalka machine
Accidently, something went wrong with one of the screen hangings and it had to be fixed in a temporarily manner.
The audience
Towards the wall on the left are sitting both: on the left Tom Going and on the right Dick Green.
This weekend also a joined group of the DEHS and IEHG attended. On Friday and Saturday they visited our Klooster premises. The Friday morning session was dedicated to my Nachtfee talk and demonstrations and after lunch Tom Going and Bengt both gave their PowerPoint presentations.
