Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Drawings, Charts, Tables, Color Signals Charts (illustrator). 2nd Edition. 192 Pp. Yellow Cloth Stamped In Black. Second, Revised Edition, 1917. Lightly Used, Covers A Little Dusty. Handwritten "Comdg Officer / Fort Amador" On Front Cover. Per Wikipedia, "Fort Amador (Spanish: Fuerte Amador) And Fort Grant Were Former United States Army Bases Built To Protect The Pacific (Southern) End Of The Panama Canal At Panama Bay. Amador Was The Primary On-Land Site, Lying Below The Bridge Of The Americas. Grant Consisted Of A Series Of Islands Lying Just Offshore, Some Connected To Amador Via A Causeway. Fort Sherman Was The Corresponding Base On The Atlantic (Northern) Side. All Of The Forts Were Turned Over To The Republic Of Panama In 1999, And The Area Is Now A Major Tourist Attraction. The Offshore Islands Had Always Been Considered Excellent Defensive Grounds And Were Long Visited By English Pirates. Sir Francis Drake, Captain Cook, And Henry Morgan All Used Taboga And Perico As Refuges After Raiding Spanish Galleons. It Was Here That Then-Captain Ulysses S. Grant Ended His Cross-Panama March In 1852. During The Construction Of The Panama Canal, Notably The Culebra Cut, Waste Material Was Dumped In A Mangrove Bush Then Known As The "Balboa Dump". As The Work Progressed, The Dump Was Backfilled To Create A Large Breakwater, Which Was Later Extended To The Nearest Of The Offshore Islands, Naos. This Work Was Completed In 1912, And The Military Reservations Were Given Their Official Names That Year. Fort Amador Is Named For Manuel Amador Guerrero, The First President Of Panama, While Fort Grant Was Named To Commemorate Grant's Earlier Crossing To That Point. The Two Forts Initially Claimed Only About 70 Acres (28 Ha) Of Land, But This Expanded Over The Years To Over 344. Amador Was The Primary Infantry And Support Area, And Grew To Include A Rather Prominent "Tank Farm" For Fuel Storage. Grant Was Used Primarily For Naval Defence, And Included A Number Of Large Batteries On The Various Islands. To Supply Them, The Causeway Was Extended To Connect From Naos To The Other Nearby Islands, Culebra, Perico, And Flamenco, All Of Which Had Batteries Of Various Sizes. Grant Also Included The Nearby Unconnected Islands Of San Jose, Panamarca, Changarmi, Tortolita, Torola, Taboga, Cocovieceta, Cocovi, And Venado. Fort Amador Was Initially Armed With Two Batteries, Each Of Two Six Inch Disappearing Guns. Batteries Birnie And Snith, Begun In 1913, Were Completed In 1917. They Remained In Service Until 1943, When The Guns Were Removed, And The Structures Buried. The Area Was Then Used For Housing. A 90Mm Anti-Motor Torpedo Boat (Amtb) Battery Replaced Them In 1942; It, Too, Was Disarmed And Buried In 1948.".

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Communications have always been, and are still a vital part of the Armys fighting power. Only with clear and trusted communications can commanders support, control, and lead their units and soldiers. The evolution of electrical communications in the last 150 years has been one of the most important developments humanity has ever witnessed. As the advantages that from ever more complex equipment became apparent the need for a technical arm of the Army, who specialised in communication systems, became apparent. The Royal Corps of Signals was founded in 1920 and since its founding the Corps has been leading the development of communications; delivering them in a variety of operational theatres. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

9 issues. Large folio. (508 x 344 mm). [Varying numbers of bifolia per issue]. Printed text and illustration in newspaper format on glossy paper in monochrome throughout, occasional illustration and highlighting in colour (blue, red, turquoise, bronze, see for example the cover of Vol. 1, No. 7: Lygia Clark), issues folded as usual. Loose as issued. An extensive series of the issues of 'Signals Newsbulletin' issued between 1964 and 1966. Issued bimonthly from 1964 to 1966 the 'Signals Newsbulletin' is a series of extraordinary monographic productions and an extraordinary document of the narrow focus of its founders' interests in Kinetic Art. Although intended as a general forum, each issue is focussed on a particular artist and the wider context and repercussions of their oeuvre. Many of the featured artists (see below) were introduced to a British audience first through the pages of 'Signals Newsbulletin'; the beautiful and meticulous production values ensure these documents a lasting importance in the development of London as an international forum for art. The artists detailed predominantly in these seminal documents are the following: Takis (Panayiotis Vassilakis), Sergio de Camargo, Marcello Salvadori, Lygia Clark, Naum Gabo, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Jesús-Rafael Soto and Alejandro Otero. 'In early 1964 Paul Keeler, art critic Guy Brett and artists David Medalla, Gustav Metzger and Marcello Salvadori set up the Centre for Advanced Creative Study in the apartment that Medalla and Keeler were sharing in Cornwall Gardens, South Kensington. Its magazine, Signals Newsbulletin, first published in August of that year and edited by Medalla, was named after a series of tensile sculptures by the Greek artist Takis. Documenting exhibitions and art events, as well as including poetry and essays on science and technology, it was an important forum for the discussion of experimental art, with a special focus on Kinetic art. The group and the gallery became known as Signals London when they moved to a large four-storey building at the corner of Wigmore Street in central London. According to Medalla, Signals was ?dedicated to the adventures of the modern spirit?, and during the two years it was open, it became an influential hub for experimental international artists. It set up a network of artistic exchange between different sites across Europe and Latin America, bringing to London artists including Takis, Sergio de Camargo, Lygia Clark, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Jesús Rafael Soto, Hélio Oiticica, Alejandro Otero, Mira Schendel and Li Yuan-chia.' (From the Tate catalogue). The issues and their contents are as follows: Vol. 1, No. 2 (September 1964) - atypically this issue is of a wider and more general nature to the remainder with articles by Frank Popper, Alejandro Otero, Sir John Rothenstein (a patron of Signals), a review of Documenta 3, various manifestos by Robin Page and Victor Musgrave and so on. Vol. 1, No. 3 / 4 (October / November 1964) - Devoted to the artist Takis (Takis Vassilakis) after whose work 'Signals' the gallery and bulletin were named, with contributions by Alain Jouffroy, William Burroughs, poems inspired by Takis etc. Vol. 1, No. 5 (December 1964 - January 1065) - Sergio de Camargo. Vol. 1, No. 6 (February / March 1965) - Marcello Salvadori. Also with an appreciation by David Medalla of Lygia Clark. Vol. 1, No. 7 (April / May 1965) - Lygia Clarke. Vol. 1, No. 8 (June / July 1965) - Naum Gabo. Vol. 1, No. 9 (August / September / October 1965) - Carlos Cruz-Diez. Vol. 1, No. 10 (November / December 1965) - Jesús-Rafael Soto. Vol. 2, No. 11 (January / February / March 1966) - Special Alejandro Otero issue. [see Gwen Allen's 'Artists' Magazines. An Alternative Space for Art' pg. 296].

A handbook for the Royal Naval Wireless Auxiliary Reserve, a group of amateur radio operators active the in years before the Second World War. It outlines signalling procedures, codes, and the appropriate responses to a variety of messages. We have traced only two institutional copies, at the IWM and the Caird Library of the National Maritime Museum. The RNWAR were formed in 1932 by the Admiralty "to provide a reserve of operators trained in Naval procedure, for Naval Service afloat or ashore in war or emergency" (Kidd, p. 1). The membership was made up of civilian amateurs who owned personal transmitting sets. They met at training centres across Britain, had their own uniforms, and instituted an internal rank system. In 1935 approximately 200 members were able to be embarked for the Fleet Review. In 1938 they were replaced by the RNV(W)R, a branch of the Volunteer Reserve force, and formerly subsumed into the armed forces. Clive Kidd, "Reserve Telegraphists for HM Navy", Signal, no. 66, February 2023. Octavo. Diagrams and tables in text, some pages folded, occasional corrigenda slips and pencil corrections. Original buff thick card boards, orange cloth backstrip, front board lettered in black. Near-contemporary signature of one J. H. Shaw on front board. Binding worn, boards a little chipped and soiled as expected, light marginal foxing internally: a very good copy of a working document.
