A historical look at decrypting the Enigma

[QUOTE="Baluncore, post: 6816495, member: 447632"] A Nixie tube was a simple display tube, not a multi-state counter. It contained 10 anodes in the shape of the decimal digits 0 to 9. The digit shown in the neon discharge was selected by controlling the voltage on the 10 inputs. Thyratron ring counters were used in Colossus to count coincidences. They had 10 discrete states, and could be advanced by a pulse input, like a counter. They could also be cascaded to count several decades. [/QUOTE]
