The optic telegraph, a mechanical device to transmit messages over distance was invented by Claude Chappe and his brothers between 1790 and 1793. In a few years, 5000 km of network and more than 500 stations covering a great part or France were set up. A line consisted of stations roughly 10 to 15 km apart built on a height or using church towers to place the telegraph. In each station 2 operators called stationnaires, relayed the watch seven days a week. Service started at sunrise and finished at sunset (it was not operating at night and on foggy days). The signals were observed through 2 enlarged glasses pointed at the neighbouring stations and then reproduced exactly for the next towers.
The device consists of 3 articulated arms (2 wings 2 meters length, 1 counterweight to ensure the balance of the unit), a manipulator to modify the position of the wings to transmit a message according to an established code.
However, to me it was nothing more or less than Terry Pratchett's Clacks!

Today marked the fourth anniversary of the passing of my SIL, Elias. Hot air balloons were decorated by the girls with messages and then sent skyward.
Few months ago I received a 20$ bill
Today, I received a 5$ bill that said: "Who ever gets this note, I wrote it May 25, 2007. During Math class time 12:10pm. My name Nick Ucan BROOKLYN"
=))))
Going through some drawers in my mum's house, I found this note hidden under the paper drawer lining.
I laughed a LOT when I found it!
This message was proclaimed by his Excellency the Sultan of Yogjakarta, Indonesia in March 2011, opening a DeforestACTION webcast from the Jogya Orangutan Center. The crew filmed as the Sultan, Microsoft, Dr Willie Smits orangutan campaign outreach team, and government officials then laid the foundation stone for one of Dr Smits' most visionary long term projects - a Yogjakarta-based Center of Excellence in long term care of unreleasable orangutans from Jakarta and elsewhere.
