Finishing off the Semaphores
Got another break in courseware before the final push, so let's do an animation to close off the sequence of non-electric Semaphores.
This Russian scene was the first one I tried before I studied the systems closely. The original code was arbitrary and fictional. Now we'll do it again after learning more about the codes and patterns of operation.
Using the British 'Popham' code. I still haven't found a reference for the actual Russian code.

Links to the illustrations so far:
Russian 1850s
Chappe clock system and wing system
Dupillon (French) [I snuck this into an older item without properly describing it]
Six shutter (English)
More discussion of Chappe
Chatley (English)
Redo of Russian (this item)
