雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第8章:水銀延時線(6)
The section doing such work was headed by E.T. 'Charles' Goodwin, a fellow B-star of 1934 who recognised Alan from undergraduate days.
Two other sections, 'Statistics' and 'Punched cards' were also related to the Turing interest,
統計組和打孔卡片組，也是圖靈感興趣的，and the existence of punched-card machinery on the premises was to decide the choice of input mechanism for his machine.
後者與他的機器的輸入機制有關。
A fourth section consisted of the staff of the Hartree differential analyser, and remained for the time being at Manchester.
第四組的工作是圍繞哈特里差分機的，這是曼徹斯特那段時光的延續。The fifth section consisted of Alan Turing alone.
第五組只有圖靈一個人。By the end of the year there were twenty-seven staff in the Division, which was thus roughly equivalent to a large university department.
到了這一年的年底，整個數學部共有27名職員，大致相當於一個大學的數學系。Two Victorian houses, Teddington Hall and Cromer House, on the perimeter of the existing NPL territory, had been acquired in March,
3月，國家物理實驗室得到了兩棟維多利亞式的房，特丁頓樓和克洛默樓，and in October the whole new Division was housed in Cromer House, where Alan had a little room in the north wing.
10月，新組建的數學部就安頓在克洛默樓。圖靈的辦公室在北棟的一個小房間，Charles Goodwin and his colleague Leslie Fox were across the way and working on the problem of how best to find the 'eigenvalues' of matrices,
對面的房間是古德溫和他的同事萊斯理·福克斯，他們在那裏研究如何更好地求解矩陣的特徵值，in connection with the problem of finding the resonant frequencies of an aircraft design.
這關係到飛行器共振頻率的計算。In these autumn months they would hear his typewriter banging jerkily away.
秋天時，他們時常聽到圖靈在敲打他的打字機。
