In page Claude Shannon:

"

For two months early in 1943, Shannon came into contact with the leading British mathematician Alan Turing. Turing had been posted to Washington to share with the U.S. Navy's cryptanalytic service the methods used by the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park to break the cyphers used by the Kriegsmarine U-boats in the north Atlantic Ocean.[3] He was also interested in the encipherment of speech and to this end spent time at Bell Labs. Shannon and Turing met at teatime in the cafeteria.[3] Turing showed Shannon his 1936 paper that defined what is now known as the "universal Turing machine".[4][5] This impressed Shannon, as many of its ideas complemented his own.[citation needed]
