War has been called the mother of invention, and this was certainly true in the French Revolutionary wars in 1972.
(1). What the Revolutionary Government urgently needed was a reliable system of communication.
Claude Chappe, who was a priest and an engineer, had developed a telegraph system, but had not been able to test it fully.
However, his brother Ignance was a member of the government, and arranged for Claudes system to be tested. It turned
out to be a great success and started a new form of high speed communication.
The two brothers had a series of towers built 5 to 10 km apart. At the top of each tower was a tall wooden mast, and they
attached one horizontal and two vertical wooden beams to this mast. (2). Claude called this system semaphore,
which comes from the Greek meaning bearing a sign.
Operators in each tower watched neighbouring towers through a telescope and then passed the message on to the next
one in the line. The first line stretched from Paris to Lillie, a distance of 230 km. (3). At an average speed of
three signals a minute, it was carried in 20 minutes, more than 90 times faster than messengers on horseback.
Once the value of Chappes system was understood, it soon became the standard method of communication in Europe.
(4). By the time the electric telegraph was developed, France had more than 550 semaphore towers stretching
4,800 km.
Unfortunately, Chappes system had some disadvantages. (5). The towers were also expensive to maintain
and the cost of staff was high. In the end, Chappe was depressed by these criticism of his invention and by claims from
other engineers that they had invented semaphore, and he committed suicide in 1805.
