semaphore using moving arms at scheveningen circa 1799 semaphore lit apparatus for signalling from ancient greek σῆμα sêma mark sign token and greek φόρος phóros bearer carrier 1 is the use of an apparatus to create a visual signal transmitted over distance 2 3 a semaphore can be performed with devices including fire lights flags sunlight and moving arms 2 3 4 semaphores can be used for telegraphy when arranged in visually connected networks or for traffic signalling such as in railway systems or traffic lights in cities 5 fire edit the phryctoriae were a semaphore system used in ancient greece for the transmission of specific prearranged messages towers were built on selected mountaintops so that one tower the phryctoria would be visible to the next tower usually 30 km 20 mi distant flames were lit on one tower then the next tower would light a flame in succession the byzantine beacon system was a semaphore developed in the 9th century during the arab byzantine wars the byzantine empire used a system of beacons to transmit messages from the border with the abbasid caliphate across asia minor to the byzantine capital constantinople the main line of beacons stretched over some 720 km 450 mi with stations placed from 100 km 60 mi to 60 km 35 mi a message could be sent along the line in approximately one hour a bonfire was set at the first beacon and transmitted down the line to constantinople a smoke signal is one of the oldest forms of semaphore for long distance communication the smoke is used to transmit news signal danger or gather people to a common area lights edit sailor with signal lamp a signal lamp is a semaphore system using a visual signaling device often utilizing morse code in the 19th century the royal navy began using signal lamps in 1867 then captain later vice admiral philip howard colomb for the first time began using dots and dashes from a signal lamp 6 the modern lighthouse is a semaphore using a tower building or another type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and to serve as a navigational aid for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines hazardous shoals reefs rocks and safe entries to harbors they also assist in aerial navigation originally lit by open fires and later candles the argand hollow wick lamp and parabolic reflector were introduced in the late 18th century the source of light is called the lamp and the light is concentrated by the lens or optic whale oil was also used with wicks as the source of light kerosene became popular in the 1870s and electricity and carbide acetylene gas began replacing kerosene around the turn of the 20th century carbide was promoted by the dalén light which automatically lit the lamp at nightfall and extinguished it at dawn the advent of electrification and automatic lamp changers began to make lighthouse keepers obsolete improvements in maritime navigation and safety with satellite navigation systems like the global positioning system gps have led to the phasing out of non automated lighthouses across the world 7 flags edit flag alphabet main articles flag semaphore and international maritime signal flags a flag semaphore 8 is the telegraphy system conveying information at a distance by means of visual signals with hand held flags rods disks paddles or occasionally bare or gloved hands information is encoded by the position of the flags 9 it is still used during underway replenishment at sea and is acceptable for emergency communication in daylight or using lighted wands instead of flags at night international maritime signal flags are a system used by ships for communication at sea each flag representing a specific letter numeral or message in the international maritime signal code they are brightly coloured and easily distinguishable serving purposes such as spelling out messages identifying letters and numbers signalling distress or requests for assistance and communicating nautical procedures standardized by the international maritime organization imo these flags ensure global uniformity they allow maritime professionals a tool for effective and clear communication at sea sunlight edit heliograph a heliograph is a semaphore that signals by flashes of sunlight using a mirror often in morse code the flashes are produced by momentarily pivoting the mirror or by interrupting the sunlight with a shutter 10 the heliograph was a simple but effective instrument for instantaneous optical communication over long distances during the late 19th and early 20th century 10 the main uses were for the military survey and forest protection work heliographs were standard issue in the british and australian armies until the 1960s and were used by the pakistani army as late as 1975 11 moving arms edit optical telegraph edit main article optical telegraph in 1792 claude chappe a clergyman from france invented a terrestrial semaphore telegraph which uses pivoted indicator arms and conveys information according to the direction the indicators point and was popular in the late eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries 12 13 14 2 15 relay towers were built with a sightline to each tower at separations of 10 30 km 5 20 mi on the top of each tower was an apparatus which uses pivoted indicator arms and conveys information according to the direction the indicators point an observer at each tower would watch the neighbouring tower through a telescope and when the semaphore arms began to move spelling out a message they would pass the message on to the next tower this early form of telegraph system was much more effective and efficient than post riders for conveying a message over long distances the sightline between relay stations was limited by geography and weather in addition the visual communication would not be able to cross large bodies of water an example is during the napoleonic era stations were constructed to send and receive messages using the coined term napoleonic semaphore 16 17 this form of visual communication was so effective that messages that normally took days to communicate could now be transmitted in mere hours 16 cars edit some early 20th century cars used moving arms called trafficators to indicate turns before the invention of the modern turn signal otherwise drivers used hand signals railway signal edit railway pivot arms main article railway semaphore signal the railway semaphore signal is one of the earliest forms of fixed railway signals 18 these signals display their different indications to train drivers by changing the angle of inclination of a pivoted arms 3 a single arm that pivots is attached to a vertical post and can take one of three positions the horizontal position indicates stop the vertical means all clear and the inclined indicates go ahead under control but expect to stop 3 designs have altered over the intervening years and colour light signals have replaced semaphore signals in most countries hydraulic edit main article hydraulic telegraph a hydraulic telegraph can refer to either one of two different semaphore systems the earliest one was developed in 4th century bc greece while the other was developed in 19th century ad britain the greek system was deployed in combination with semaphoric fires while the latter british system was operated purely by hydraulic fluid pressure decline edit electric telegraph in the early 19th century the electrical telegraph was gradually invented allowing a message to be sent over a wire 19 20 in 1835 the american inventor samuel morse created a dots and dashes language system representing both letters and numbers called the morse code enabling text based transmissions in 1837 the british inventors william fothergill cooke and charles wheatstone obtained a patent for the first commercially viable telegraph 21 by the 1840s with the combination of the telegraph and morse code the semaphore system was replaced 22 the telegraph continued to be used commercially for over 100 years and morse code is still used by amateur radio enthusiasts telecommunication evolved replacing the electric telegraph with the advent of wireless telegraphy teleprinter telephone radio television satellite mobile phone internet and broadband 23 24 see also edit military communications optical
