The design for this spotlight dates back to the 1930s. Navy vessels had a large light next to the wheelhouse on the bridge.It functioned as a ship-bound lighthouse. This light was handled by a specially trained sailors with the ability to transmit highly detailed messages using Morse code. 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.
