Projector Firing

Forwarded to me by "Andre" this photo is supposedly the Mark 2 projector in a firing test at Bletchley in the late 1940's or early 1950's. Note that the photograph was taken at night, most likely on ASA 12 Kodachrome.

Disperser

Another anonymous image. This one was mailed to me with no return address, but a postmark from Tanzania. The word "disperser" was written on the back of the photograph.

A Formula?

Attached to an anonymous email. Can somebody who is a chemist or possibly an oncologist please email me an analysis? Here is the original attachment of the formula image

Illustrator Jason Arthur indicates this was from an Enzo Valenzetti diagram he saw in a science lab at university. Unfortunately, the notes are in one of Enzo's personal cryptics, none of which we have deciphered here at the Foundation.

The Original Apparatus

In the Rome laboratory before the war.

The Mark 2 Projector

Later versions of the apparatus were both more compact and more powerful.

Over ten thousand of these hand-wound components were manufactured for the third projector, but all were presumed lost in transit to the testing location.
