Newmanry
The Newmanry was a section at Bletchley Park, the British codebreaking station during World War II.[1] Its job was to develop and employ machine methods in Cryptanalysis of the Lorenz cipher. The Newmanry was named after its founder and head, Max Newman. It was responsible for the various Robinson machines and the ten Colossus computers.
