About

CNM worked to support a local heritage project at Bletchley Park, also known as Station X, which was the site where WWII codebreakers operated, including those who invented the first computer and broke the ENIGMA code. The project allowed CNM to photograph in detail a 4 Rotor Marine Enigma Machine, which was used by the Germans to encode and decode important military messages during the war.

As part of the project, CNM proposed ideas to the Bletchley Park team, including the creation of a Planet-Style News Service. They used the CNM Rostra news server system to produce an online news service for the park.
