The difference in thickness is actually due to the way the glass panes were made. When they were installed, the workmen put them w/ the heavier/thicker side down, which was more stable.
New fact: The Enigma cipher the Nazis used was actually cracked by the Polish. Before they were invaded they passed on all their information to the British. The Pole who first cracked the code managed to espace to England, where he spent the rest of the war cracking low level codes, because he was never entirely trusted. After the war, the British distributed many of the captured Enigma machines throughout their colonies. At the time, none of them knew that they could be cracked.
