Note.... Neat books like this can really give us a glimpse of
the past. They do the world little good if they are just on a
packed shelf or a dark closet. Let us all make an effort to get some
of this information online so everyone can benefit from it!

The postmark on card is June 15, 1908. We can

Signaling By Signal Lamp
|

I
am sending the pictures with the lamp with this. They do not have a
special caption, they are a part of an photo article on army communication
in 1940 (there are others, with radios, telephones, loudspeakers and so
on).
The
source is “Vida Doméstica Magazine”, special issue on the Brazilian
army, 1940. The number of the photo is the page number in the magazine.
The
only photo I can identify is p142a, which shows president Vargas
(the one with the dark suit) during a visit to the Army Communication
Material Factory. From Adler Homero Fonseca de Castror
