About Authentic Models Adjustable Marconi Spotlight
Bold and striking nickel and steel tripod stand. Height adjustable. Lamp head moves up and down with the help of an intricate gear and cogwheel system. 34.6 in. L x 34.6 in. W x 65 in. H. Our spotlight dates back to the 1930s and was likely used on a French Navy battleship. By moving slatted louvers the signalman sent short and longer spaced rays of light that could be read by trained sailors in the distance. Morse code uses long and short elements and combinations to convey a message. The elements making up the code were formed by sounds, marks and pulses of varying length. Created in the 1840s Morse code was in use for more than a century and a half. The famous S.O.S. sent by ships in distress (as on the Titanic) was sent by Morse code.
