Captain Ridley proved to be as effective an administrator as the organizer of the “hunting”. After moving GC&CS to Bletchley, he was able to master the chaos of the first days and launch projects that were to give BP the final shape. Captain Faulkner’s company managed to construct in August four huts. Already in September the staff of the center grew to 186 people and it became clear that the existing and constructed structures could not accommodate all the sections. In mid-September it was decided to build three more huts for the Army, Navy and Air sections, and their construction started at the end of the month. It was decided also to connect all buildings with a pneumatic mail system, which was to improve internal communication and increase security. Before the system began to function, two of the barracks were connected by a wooden tunnel, in which the basket with the documents was pushed in both directions with a brush stick. During this period of operation, conditions in BP did not match the relative luxuries that surrounded the French-Spanish-Polish team at Château Vignolles. The problem of the space was gradually solved as the next huts were finished. They weren’t a pleasant place to work. Their interiors were divided inside with wooden walls that did not isolate from the noise of typewriters and conversations in the neighboring rooms. Buildings were heated by military peat or oil stoves, which filled the interior with pungent smoke during bad weather. Night shift was usually the worst time; cipher keys being changed at midnight caused the work to be most hectic, and the tightly closed covers on the windows contributed to the dense atmosphere. In all of this, several people in BP have become increasingly aware that its organizational structure, mostly unchanged from the interwar years, resembles the rough walls of the huts being constructed around, requiring the planning of dividing walls, structuring and filling with furniture.
