X-WR-CALDESC:24 July 1889: noted U.S. cryptanalyst Agnes Meyer Driscoll was
  born. Ms. Driscoll's work as a navy cryptanalyst who broke a multitude of
  Japanese naval systems\, as well as a developer of early machine systems\
 , marks her as one of the true 'originals' in American cryptology. \n\nAgn
 es Meyer Driscoll was inducted into the <b>NSA/CSS Cryptologic Hall of Hon
 or</b> in 2000. Read the Hall of Honor page about Ms. Driscoll via the lin

 l joined the U.S. Navy in 1918\, with a degree in mathematics and physics\
 , and a proficiency in English\, French\, German\, Latin\, and Japanese. S
 he worked in their cryptologic office throughout World War I.\n\nStaying w
 ith the Navy as a civilian\, Mrs. Driscoll was instrumental in breaking Ja
 panese naval systems between the wars. In 1930\, she solved the Japanese s
 ystem used during their Grand Maneuvers. The information learned indicated
  that the Japanese knew American operational plans. Later\, she broke the 
 Japanese 'Blue Book' which required solving both the code and the overlayi
 ng cipher simultaneously.\n\nMrs. Driscoll also assisted in the developmen
 t of an early cipher machine and encouraged the use of tabulating machines
  for cryptanalysis. She retired from NSA in 1959.  \n\nxxx
