    I found something similar to the clack towers actually in use in the 19th century. You can vaguely see the next "tower" in the background of the model. Thios particular setting was part of the message "The Duke of X and X has safely arrived home.", and from the few combinations needed to pass the message along, it seems to me that entire words, but at best syllables were coded here.

    It does look like a sort of semaphore rig or something. Cool!

    It is a cool picture. I thought it was a cartoon when it was loading on my computer.

    The gods are watching you. And they have photographic proof of what you did yesterday.
