		The heliotrope was limited to use on sunny days and was further limited (in regions of high temperatures) to mornings and afternoons when atmospheric aberration did not affect the instrument-man's line of sight.
		The heliotrope operator was called a "heliotroper" or "flasher" and would sometimes employ a second mirror for communicating with the instrument station through heliography, a form of language using impulsed reflecting surfaces.

		He was able to occasionally play in a band at just age 6, and spent a good deal of his childhood studying every instrument in the band as well as harmony, theory, composition.
