MkV Heliograph wanted

[universalgrl]

The manual you need is "Signal Training (all Arms) Pamphlet No. 2 Visual Signalling. There are 10 manuals in this set.
1. Signalling codes.
2. Visual signalling
3. Electricity and line signaling.
4. Wireless signalling
5. Signal procedure.
6. Procedure for Arty fire orders
7.Procedure for inter-service vis signalling
8. Signal office working
9. Training
10.Signal tactics

I have duplicates for 1 and 2 both dated 1942.

A full set of signalling equipment consists of the following.

1. I set of semaphore flags (easy to make).
2. 1 lamp signalling daylight short range (comes in wood or metal case) 1943
3. Heliograph 5-in MK V date unknown.
4. Tripod, fits both heliograph and daytime lamp. 1941
Those 4 items make up your sending station
5. Telescope signaling MK III or MK IV 1914
6. Tripod telescope stand 1914
These 2 item make up your receiving station.

Supposedly there was a trench variant of the telescope tripod but have never seen an example. Most spotters would have laid the telescope on the edge of the trench. My tripod will be restored to the correct height to match the other one
