In A 007, dalla Russia con amore (1963), the storyline dealt with the Lektor Decoding Machine, the name of which was called the Spektor Decoding Machine in the Ian Fleming novel "From Russia with Love" (1957). Its name was changed because of its similarity with the name of the fictitious criminal spy organization S.P.E.C.T.R.E. Fleming based this device on his knowledge of the Enigma Decoding Machine from World War II. Fleming was involved with the Ultra Network, who cracked the Enigma Code in 1939. The Ultra Network's activities were not released until 1975, in a book called Intrepid (1979). Fleming's friend Sir William Stevenson wrote the book, which was published at the time when the closed period on wartime secrets expired, and the records were finally declassified.
