Visual signaling, this being possible as we advance

  • signal mirror said:
    The "mirror and disc" apparatus at the right is a 5" Mance heliograph. The heliograph was used to signal by Morse code using flashes of reflected sunlight created by tilting the mirror intermittently. This one is set up in the "duplex" (twin mirror) arrangement. The duplex configuration was used when the sun was on the opposite side of the signaller from the target. The leather carrying case dangling below the tripod by the shoulder strap was use to carry the parts atop the tripod for travel, and the tripod itself was slung over the shoulder by the strap attached to the left leg of the tripod, with the cylindrical cap at the end of the sling holding the legs of the tripod together. The disc dangling just above the case is a protective cap (with female threads) that protected the male threads atop the tripod. As noted at left, the heliograph saw little use during the trench warfare on the Western front in WWI, but rather more so in the mobile warfare towards the end. Another photograph of heliographs in use on the western front is this one at the Imperial War Museum: www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205072698 .For more information on heliographs, see the Wikipedia article on heliographs and its references.

Man, wearing a breastplate, poses for a studio portrait, Queen Street, Brisbane, 1884

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Aboriginal breastplates (also called king plates or aboriginal gorgets) were a form of regalia used in pre-Federation Australia by white colonial authorities to recognise those they perceived to be local Aboriginal leaders. The breastplates were usually metallic crescent-shaped plaques worn around the neck by the wearer. Aboriginal people did not traditionally have kings or chiefs. They lived in small clan groups with several elders—certain older men and women—who consulted with each other on decisions for the group. By appointing kings of tribes, and granting them king plates, the white colonial powers went against the more collegiate grain of traditional Aboriginal culture.
