Heliograph

What's New McEwan Minis

General Miles introduced the heliograph into Arizona, in 1886, to improve the communications between army units hunting for Geronimo. The heliograph consisted of two mirrors mounted on a tripod. One was the sun mirror used to focus the sun onto the station mirror which was focused on a distant station. A second tripod held a shutter which could be opened and closed rapidly allowing the transmission of Morse Code.

Stations were established on mountain tops scattered over Arizona. A test message sent from the extreme eastern station to the extreme western station, a total distance of about 800 miles, required only four hours for transmission.

This set consists of a heliograph, an operator with code book, a Sergeant with binoculars an officer writing in his message book, and a station flag.
