  • Operation Science: Signals
    Operation Science: Signals Transcript (Close up of Morse code key - Emily is tapping out a message) (Wider shot of Emily in front of the hat display at the National Army Museum) If you didn’t quite catch what I said, that is because I was saying hello in Morse code. Morse code is a language where dots and dashes - or dits and dahs - replace letters to send quick and efficient messages. My name is Emily and I’m a family learning producer here at the National Army Museum. Morse code, waving flags, flashing lights, riders on horseback, smoke signals, hand gestures, but these are all things the Army has used to signal and send messages throughout its history. A signal is a sound, object or gesture that can be used to convey a notice or warning, and that is what we are going to be exploring in our video today. But, first things first, I want you to imagine we have stepped back in time for a second. To a world where there is no electricity and, more importantly, no internet. How would you send an important message from one side of the country to another? Would you… Post a letter? Charter a carrier pigeon? Or maybe place an advert in the newspaper and hope that the right person would see it? Well, British Indian troops based on the North West Frontier between Pakistan and Afghanistan in the late 19th century also had this dilemma. (Image of Operations in Waziristan, 1902) They needed to be able to communicate over wide stretches of terrain (Image of Kyber Pass with voiceover) without the need for laying telegraph wires or relying on messengers to cross miles and miles on horseback.
