John Alexander (Bletchley Park �Enigma & Friends�) and Ian Foulkes 
(Royal Signals Museum Blandford Forum) Announce �Codes!� at Beaumanor 
Hall Woodhouse. A Five Day Exhibition of Radio Interception Equipment, 
Codes and Cypher Systems and Machines AT ...

Beaumanor Hall, Woodhouse, Leicestershire. 10:00 am - 4:00 pm, 26 March 
- Friday 30 March 2007.

John Alexander is a Leicester-based collector of code and cypher 
equipment. Ian Foulkes is an Assistant Curator of the Royal Signals 
Museum at Blandford Camp, Blandford Forum, Dorset.

For five days only, the exhibition is open to the general public and at 
no cost.

�Codes� � is intended to bring the history of Beaumanor, the �Y� 
service, the Royal Signals Reg. and the Codebreakers of Bletchley Park 
to a wider audience .. and with some rarely seen equipment on show.

With this compact exhibition space, the visitor can become acquainted 
with WWII radio receivers as used at Beaumanor, with some British code 
and cypher systems, the famous German Enigma machine and others- 
British, American, European, Scandinavian and Russian.

Were banks of Radio Receivers based at Beaumanor (and elsewhere) during 
WWII? Yes, and important they were too. Ian will bring some of these 
�sets� along to see.

A tactical cypher machine used by the Americans during WWII and later? 
The M209 - one of John�s will be available.

What was the British �Slidex�? Ian will describe the use of this British 
battlefield cypher system from WWII and later.

Is Mrs Alexander jealous of "NOREEN'? Not really, NOREEN is really a 
British cypher system originally used in some British embassies abroad.

A high level cypher machine used by the Russians during the Cold War? 
One such system is the M125 �Fialka�, a �super-Enigma�. Come and see it 
at Beaumanor.

MORE ...

This is a not-for-profit exhibition intended to take wartime radio 
intercept matters, code and cypher systems out to a wider audience and 
in the beautiful surroundings of Beaumanor Hall.

We do of course hope that visitors will want to learn more by visiting 
Beaumanor Hall, Bletchley Park and The Royal Signals Museum at Blandford 
Camp.
