Another RV Jones fan! Astonishing tales of the power of pure thought allied
to pragmatism. 

IF they are doing this completely new thing, then they must be using that,
and if they are using that then they need to have something like this and so
on all the way to a drawing and/or completely reverse engineered hardware.
Which they then went out and found.)
Comparable in attainment to Bletchley Park in many ways.

Very good.

Reminds me of a passage in "Most Secret War" by R V Jones where he relates a
story from T. C. Keeley , one of his tutors, who had worked at the Royal
Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough during the First World War.

Keeley described how on one day the administrators there changed the method
of packing bombs into crates and to avoid any incidents the new crates were
labelled thus:

‘Caution! The bombs in this crate are packed in a different manner from that
formally used.  Compared with the old methods the bombs are now packed
upside down, and the crate must therefore be opened at the bottom.  To
prevent confusion, the bottom has been labelled “Top”.’

The book is called Wizard War in the US I believe and is well worth a read.
