thanks!
Thanks Rob and Roberta for the replies!
Roberta, you have some very nice signalling equipment there! Is the piece I arrowed in your photo a cap to protect the threads on the top of the tripod, or? Mine only has the chain left... Would be very interested in your two spare manuals. Will pm. Since the subject of trench optics has been touched on by you and Rob, does anyone know where I can get an original handle for the item in the last two photos? Thanks again, David

You need a few Aldis lamps to complete the layout Roberta.
And yes David, that cap on the chain protects the threads at the end of the tripod for transit.

Shot attached has the inverse of your flag Bruce. Maybe daytime and nighttime versions?

Semaphore flags
According to the Visual Signalling Pam No. 2 Semaphore flags may be white with a blue horizontal stripe or all blue depending on the nature of the background.
Flags are 2 ft. square and the flag poles 3 ft. 6in. long. Under average conditions in England, with the aid of a telescope, flag signals can be read at a distance of three miles For some strange reason flag signals did not work worth a dam at night.
