Couverture de Send It by Semaphore: The Old Telegraphs During the Wars With France par Howard Mallinson

Résumé

The old visual telegraphs, which used giant semaphore indicators on a series of highly conspicuous sites, were developed in France during the French Revolution. For the first time news of victories was sent by an army in the field back to the capital in minutes, compared to hours or days by horse.
