Teletype messages, June 1943

title

Messages sent between the USNCML in Dayton and the Naval Communications Annex at Nebraska Avenue, Washington

The text of messages, and the listing of messages sent between Dayton and Washington were a useful way to describe the struggle to get bombes up and running in the documentary Local DCB. They form a dramatic narrative of the successes and failures of the NCR and Navy crew in 1942 and 1943. I’m including some key pages here, along with the personnel roster and glossary at the beginning of the listing.

The pages presented here are found at the National Archives and Records dediCated-administration at Silver Springs, Maryland. They are from Record Group 38, Box 184.

    • Stray Thoughts in the Information Age

      History, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do. It could scarcely be otherwise, since it is to history that we owe our frames of reference, our identities, and our aspirations
