Say It With Semaphores
- Before the development of telephones and two-way
radios, the semaphore code was used to communicate
over long distances. Sailors relied upon the
semaphore code (and the Morse code) to pass
information between ships at sea. Semaphore requires
two flags. Send messages by snapping the flags into
the positions that indicate the letters of the
alphabet.

The Morse Code Translator
- This code of dots and dashes was invented by
Samuel Morse in 1835 for use with telegraphs. Use it
to send messages with a light (a flashlight or
mirror reflecting the sun), with sound (whistle or
buzzer), with a ham radio, or with a single flag.
Swing the flag to the right for a dot, the left for
a dash.
