	Heliographs. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The heliograph sent its signals by reflecting sunlight towards the intended recipient with a mirror or mirrors, the beam being keyed on and off with a shutter or a tilting mirror, allowing Morse code to be sent.
		Heliographs were used by the armies of several countries during the late 1800's; they were highly popular with British forces in India because of the dependable sunlight.
		The classic heliograph is the Mance pattern, devised by Sir Henry Mance at Bombay in 1869.

	Victorian Era Visual Signalling Instruments --Black Watch, 42nd Royal Highland Regiment Signalling Unit, c. 1898
		The heliograph is an instrument that uses the suns rays for signalling.
		The first use of the heliograph in war seems to be in the Zulu war of 1877 to 1879.
		When the sun is in front of the heliograph, a single mirror is used to reflect the suns rays to the distant station..

	Heliograph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A heliograph uses a mirror to reflect sunlight to a distant observer.
		The Mance Heliograph was easily operated by one man, and as it weighed about seven pounds, the operator could readily carry it and the tripod on which it rests.
		The heliograph remained standard equipment for military signallers in the Australian and British armies until the 1960s, where it was considered a "low probability of intercept" form of communication.

	Heliograph
		The heliograph is a device for communicating over distances using light from the sun reflected in mirrors to flash signals in Morse code or some other agreed upon messaging system.
		Heliographic communication was used in Arizona during the summer of 1886 by General Nelson Miles in his pursuit of Geronimo.
		The heliograph line ultimately attained a length of over 200 miles from Mt. Baldy, to stations in New Mexico, and undoubtedly aided the troops in capturing Geronimo and his men who were frightened by the flashes of light which appeared everywhere.

	Heliography: The First Photograph
		Viewed by transmitted light the image was composed of bright lines in the darker field of the remaining opaque coating on the glass; when held against a dark surface and lighted from the front, the image looked fl in its surrounding light gray field.
		This first permanent example of a heliograph was destroyed during an attempt to copy it some years later.
		The resulting image is therefore a direct positive: the light sections being the hardened bitumen, the darks ones being the actual pewter plate surface.

	Southwestern Archaeology - Messages
		The factor that established the heliograph was the existence of the Morse alphabet of dots and dashes, widely used for land telegraph and submarine cable operations.
		The heliograph was used in the Spanish-American war in 1898.
		This mode of signaling is variously designated as mirror telegraphing, heliographic, helioscopic, heliostatic and heliotropic, all of which seem to be essentially identical in the main principles.

	Conservation and Preservation: The First Photograph
		The Niépce heliograph, "View from the Window at Le Gras" -- more popularly known as the First Photograph -- was first housed in a sealed, protective case with an oxygen-free atmosphere shortly after its acquisition by The University of Texas in the mid-1960s.
		While the heliograph was out of its frame, Getty Museum photographers devoted their expertise, facilities, and a day and a half of their time to capturing the elusive image of the heliograph through both large format film and high-resolution digital photography.
		This information is consistent with previous observations about the structure of the framed heliograph, and provides additional supporting evidence to the date and provenance of the piece.

		The difference was that a heliograph was used to send flashes of reflected sunlight to carry messages.
		Heliographs worked best in locations with many sunny days and where the land surface had unblocked high mountains, such as the deserts of New Mexico and the southwest.
		An advantage of heliograph communication for military use is that your enemy can't intercept your messages, as they might if you used the telegraph.

	Whipple, Glassford, and the "talking mirrors"
		The heliograph is a remarkable instrument using one mirror, and frequently two, for flashing coded signals over great distances.
		The 1890 practice was the first time the heliograph was put to work over such a large area since General Nelson Miles used it extensively in his campaign against Geronimo in 1886.
		The heliograph did not arrive in the Prescott area in any quantity until almost ten years after the Indians on the Date Creek and Camp Verde Reservations had been forced to march to the San Carlos Reservation in 1875, a trek now called "The March of Tears" by the Prescott Yavapai Indian Tribe.

		The former world's record for long-range heliographing was surpassed 58 miles during the year through the zealous and intelligent exertions of Capt. W.
		Heliographs were used to some extent in the Spanish-American W, but by World War 1, wireless and field telephones had replaced heliograph communications.

		The pointillistic effect is due to the reproduction process and is not present in the original heliograph.
		His attempt was meant to bring the heliograph as close as possible to a positive representation of how he felt Niépce intended the original should appear.

	WIRE AT WAR - Signals communication in the South African War 1899-1902 - South African Military History Society
		Nevertheless, the capabilities of both line communications and the heliograph, and their constraints, played a great part in the sieges and hunts and the convoys and ambushes in the Second Anglo-Boer War (or the South African War, 1899-1902).
		The main disadvantages of the heliograph were that a light source was required, be it the sun, the moon, or limelight, and that a clear atmosphere was essential.
		In the Eastern Transvaal, there is evidence to indicate that the heliograph was used as a back-up for the permanent line along the railway and blockhouse lines.

	Halfbakery: Auxiliary Heliograph Traffic Lights
		That's when the Auxilary Heliograph Traffic Light (AHTL) occurred to me. As well as using conventional traffic light type technology (LEDs, light bulbs etc), the AHTL would have a sun-following mirror on top which would reflect light into the housing of the traffic light.
		This light would in turn be reflected out of the appropriate colour filter to indicate the state of the traffic light.
		On dim days and at night the traffic light would be illuminated normally but on bright summer days the traffic light would still be visible, illuminated by the Sun.

		Your sight is very interesting, and also I have studied the old movie "The Walking Hills" but, was somewhat disappointed with their coverage of the Heliograph, sometimes thinking that the prop man did not have a firm idea of what it was supposed to look like, or how it was to be used.
		The heliograph was basically mounted on a short "board", perhaps a foot to a foot and a half long.
		I became interested in heliographs when I was stationed at Fort Huachuca in 1959, and I saw a good article in Arizona Highways on their use in the Indian Wars.

		The heliograph was to remain in service with the Army for many years, as a most efficient form of visual signalling in sunny climates.

		This joint project between the HRC and GCI is the first time and opportunity there has been to conduct an analysis of the heliograph and its components, in order to learn more about the heliographic process and this object itself, as well as its condition and requirements for long-term preservation.
		XRF examination of the heliograph confirmed our previous understanding about the composition of the plate, conclusively showing that the metal is pewter (an alloy of tin plus some lead; with in this instance, traces of iron, copper and nickel), and not pure tin, or zinc or another metal.
		The heliograph will be in its new enclosure and on display in a dedicated central space in the new galleries of the HRC when the first two floors (currently under renovation) of our building are re-opened to the public in the spring of 2003.
