Semaphore Flags

Theory

Used for communication that involves a signalman positioning their arms in a fixed position to encode and transmit a message

Modern semaphore flags is a system used for communication that involves a signalman positioning their arms in a fixed position to encode and transmit a message. Most commonly the signalman will be holding flags in each hand however anything that is easily identifiable or even bare hands, can be used.
