Not only was she involved in the frequency hopping developement, she
also had a patent or two in the crypto field - providing either
the device or portions or theory (don't remember now) documents
to allied personnel which aided in their construction of the Enigma
devices. Quite an engineer, unfortunately not what she is best known
for.
