The diagonal board

A plugboard cable joins two letters both ways: if E is plugged to N, N is plugged to E. Gordon Welchman’s diagonal board wires this rule into the bombe.

Switch the diagonal board off to compare.

On: all 26 relays pull in at XEB, so the bombe moves on. A full run of this menu stops 1 time.
