雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第5章:解謎接力賽(143)
There had, in fact, been an opportunity to prepare against the dreadful day, since as early as the spring of 1941 there had been references in the decrypts to the addition of a fourth rotor.
The Hut 8 analysts afterwards rebuked themselves for not having impressed this fact with greater force upon the administrators.
8號營房的分析員後來很自責，因爲沒有向行政人員強調這件事。But in the conditions of 1941 it was quite unrealistic to think in terms of finding resources for bigger and better Bombes to cover a possible future development,
但是，在1941年的情況下，要爲了將來可能的情況做準備，基本上是不可能的。
when they had to fight to get enough Bombes merely to keep up with the existing traffic.
那時候他們連僅夠眼前使用的炸彈機都要艱難地爭取，The authorities had thrown away this advantage of foreknowledge.
更不要說指望行政人員的先見之明瞭。But with the shake-up of late 1941 a more dynamic approach had been taken, and one very important effect of the impending naval Enigma crisis was that at the turn of the year it brought in fresh expertise on the engineering side.
但是經過1941年後期的改革，他們已經有了更加有力的體制。而且現在擺在面前的危機，也給他們帶來了新的技術進步。One obvious approach was that of enlarging the Bombe to include the new fourth rotor spinning through its twenty-six possible positions at extremely high speed.
一個很重要的進步是，炸彈機也擴展了新的第四轉盤，可以高速地檢查26個盤位。The task of devising such a high-speed rotor system was entrusted to the inventive Cambridge physicist, C.E. Wynn-Williams,
設計這個高速轉盤的任務，落在富有發明才能的劍橋物理學家C.E.維恩威廉姆斯肩上。who in 1941 was working for the radar research laboratory, the Telecommunications Research Establishment as it became on its move to Malvern in May 1942.
他去年在雷達研究實驗室工作，1942年5月這個實驗室搬到了麥爾文，並更名爲電子通信研究所。One aspect of this assignment was that, with the high speeds proposed, the logical system for following through the proliferating implications of each rotor hypothesis could no longer be embodied in a network of electromagnetic relays.
這項工作要求很高的速度，隨着複雜性的迅速增長，基於繼電器的系統已經無法滿足需要了，These would be too slow. Instead, an electronic system would be necessary.
它太慢了。因此，有必要引入電子系統。In this way the first suggestions arose for applying the new and arcane technology of electronics to Bletchley work.
於是，神祕的新興的電子技術，被帶到了布萊切利。
