COPYRIGHT, 1911, REVIEW OF REVIEWS CO. THREE—SIGNALING FROM THE COBBS HILL TOWERBY THE APPOMATTOX—1864 In this second view of the Cobbs Hill signal tower, appearing in full length on the opposite page, the signal-man has dipped his flag forward in front of him—signifying Three. Signal messages were sent by meansof flags, torches, or lights, by combinations of three separate motions. With the flag or torch initially heldupright, one was indicated by waving the flag to the left and returning it to an upright position; twoby a similar motion to the right; and three by a wave or dip to the front. One or more figures con-stituted a letter of the alphabet, and a few combinations were used for phrases. Thus 11 indicated A,1221 B, 212 C, and so on. 12221 meant Wait a moment; 21112 Are you ready? And 3 meantthe end of a word, 33 the end of a sentence, and 333 the end of a message. Where a letter was composedof several figures, the motions were made in rapid succession without any pause.
