The Voder begat the Vocoder, which begat SIGSALY.
SIGSALY was a highly classified method of coding, one-time pad encrypting, and decoding voice transmissions during World War II. Churchill used it to communicate with the US and Allied commanders during wartime.

- versteegen 10y agoI never managed to find any recording online of what it actually sounded like. I'd love to hear it. "A recording of Churchill talking to Roosevelt is on display in the British Parliament Building. It is very interesting to hear since the timing of the recorded signal occasionally varies from that received. The spoken words were added to a very loud Beethoven recording which can occasionally be heard." So if I ever visit the UK I know where to go.
