雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第5章:解謎接力賽(145)
The senior of these, T.H. Flowers, had
... joined the Research Station as a probationary engineer in 1930, after serving his apprenticeship at Woolwich Arsenal.
……在阿森納見習後，於1930年，作爲實習工程師加入了研究所。His major research interest over the years had been long distance signalling, and in particular the problem of transmitting control signals, so enabling human operators to be replaced by automatic switching equipment.
他的主要研究興趣是遠距離信號傳輸，特別是關於控制信號，用自動開關設備取代人工操作。
Even at this early date he had considerable experience of electronics, having started research on the use of electronic valves for telephone switching in 1931.
他有豐富的電子工作經驗，並於1931年開始進行電子管的研究。This work had resulted in an experimental toll dialling circuit which was certainly operational in 1935 ...
這項研究在1935年實現了長途電話線路……Here then was world leadership in the field of electronic switching.
這就是電子開關領域的世界領先水平。That a TRE expert could collaborate on a GC and CS project was already a reflection of the breakdown of frontiers induced by the conditions of 1942.
對於政密學校來說，與電子通信研究所的專家合作，已經擴張了他們的研究前沿。It was even more remarkable that a third organisation, the Post Office Research Station, could be brought in as well.
現在郵局研究所也加入了。In fact, its engineers took on two different projects arising from the naval Enigma crisis.
他們的工程師，承擔了海軍謎機危機導致的兩個不同項目。Wynn-Williams was assisted with the development of the high-speed fourth rotor by W.W. Chandler,
W.W.錢德勒負責輔助維恩威廉姆斯，設計高速的第四轉盤。a young man recruited by the Post Office in 1936, who had gained expertise in the new use of electronic valves for trunk line switching.
W.W.錢德勒是1936年加入郵政實驗室的，他在電子開關方面也有豐富經驗。Meanwhile Flowers himself was assisted by S.W. Broadhurst,
與此同時，S.W.布洛哈斯特輔助弗洛文斯的工作。an electromechanical engineer who in the slump of the 1920s could only be employed in the grade of 'labourer', but had worked his way up through a command of automatic telephone switching to this advanced position at Dollis Hill.
S.W.布洛哈斯特在20年代蕭條時期，還只是一名普通工人，但現在憑藉在自動電話開關方面的經驗，已經獲得了高級職稱。They worked on a quite different machine which was to automate the testing of 'stops'.
他們的工作，是研發一種全新的機器，用來自動檢查炸彈機的停機位置，It was intended that the large number of false 'stops' (to be expected with the increased number of rotor positions) would be eliminated very much more rapidly than would be possible if they continued to try each one out by hand on an Enigma.
這將比手工檢查快得多，從而大量消除意外停機帶來的問題（轉盤增加後，意外停機的問題也更嚴重了）。
