Note.--Numerals and punctuations must be spelled out in the ardois, as
they require more than four elements, which is the limit of the ardois
keyboard.

The position is with the flag or other appliance held vertically, the
signalman directly facing station with which it is desired to
communicate. The dot is to the right of sender, embracing an arc of
90 deg., starting with the vertical and returning to it. The dash is a
similar motion to left. Front is downward directly in front and
instantly returned to vertical; it indicates a pause or conclusion.


For communication between the firing line and the reserve or commander
in rear, the subjoined signals (Signal Corps codes) are prescribed and
should be memorized. In transmission, their concealment from the enemy's
view should be insured. In the absence of signal flags, the head dress
or other substitute may be used.
