Bookseller Notes

A 'revised edition', though LibraryHub does not record an earlier one - it is institutionally scarce in any form.The author asserts that the present method is 'twice as rapid as the Morse system'; his chart illustrates 'the alphabet, numerals, and special signs' in semaphore - as produced via mechanical means at the head and then the corresponding manual positions in the main section of the chart.Henry Reginald von Donop Hardinge (1878-1956), an officer of the 4th Infantry, Hyderabad Contingent, India was from a distinguished military family; the inside cover advertises other of his guides to signalling.
