These include technical drawings for the bombe, a decryption device used during WWII; a string of ticker tape with Turing's birthday rendered in binary (23 June 1912); a green and gold security foil resembling a microchip; and a table and mathematical formulae taken from one of Turing's most famous papers.

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 03/30/2021 1:31 pm I always look forwards to a new note but this particularly as it completes the set of plastic notes. I don't like the polymer but neither do I like partial sets. Report this Post to the Staff
