The 1960s 1970s telegraphy Lorenz from Germany
MakeGold A Telegram Printer from Lorenz was a device used to receive and print out encrypted messages generated by the Lorenz typewriter. The Lorenz machine used a highly complex system of encryption to transmit messages securely, but once the messages were received, they needed to be deciphered and read by the intended recipient. The Telegram Printer was used to receive encrypted messages from the Lorenz machine and to print out a deciphered version of the message. The printer was designed to work in conjunction with the Lorenz machine, and the two devices formed an integral part of the German military s secure communication network during World War II. Like the Lorenz machine itself, the Telegram Printer was eventually decoded by British codebreakers at Bletchley Park, led by mathematician Alan Turing. The codebreakers success in cracking the Lorenz cipher and its associated devices was a significant achievement in the history of cryptography and helped to turn the tide of the war in
