Morse Code Operator - Metropolitan Police

Training Ship Exmouth, flag signalling drill
Uniformed boys on the deck of the Training Ship Exmouth learning flag signalling. The Exmouth, moored off Grays in Essex, was used by the Metropolitan Asylums Board as a naval training establishment

A Good Turn a day
A good boy scout should always be on the look out to lend a helping hand, from posing as Father Christmas to filling up the bird bath

Three Turkish Women - veiled
Three veiled Turkish women. Interestingly showing their ankles - showing a certain level of relaxation on the stringent dress code for women in the Ottoman Empire

Civil Code Revised
The project to introduce a new Code Civile leads to wrangling from all parties, and will not produce tangible results until 1804

Correcting a Skid
Providing that the car is not travelling at excessive speed a skid need not be an alarming occurrence... avoid if possible applying the brakes

Cycling Two Abreast
Cycle not more than two abreast

Overtaking with Safety
It is dangerous to overtake on bends, at crossroads, when approaching pedestrian crossings, in narrow streets and on hump-backed bridges

Running Engine Danger
Never run an engine in a garage with the door closed

I am Going to Slow Down
This signal means : I AM GOING TO SLOW DOWN, STOP, OR TURN TO MY LEFT

Driving Past Animals
Drive carefully past animals

Bicycle Not Made for Two
It is an offence under the Road Traffic Act to carry more than one person on a pedal cycle

Drawing up at Night
Avoid stopping at night with the headlights on

Policeman Signals Come
This police signal means : COME ON

Dont Bother Police
Do not hinder a policeman on point duty by asking questions, for, in doing so, you may be also obstructing three or more lines of traffic

Driving on Tramlines
It is always inadvisable to motor along a tram track, for tramlines, especially if they are wet, are most skid- provoking

Beware of Road Junctions
Beware of road junctions. Always slow down and proceed with caution when approaching cross roads

Look Right and Left
Children, stop, look right and then left before crossing the road

Beware of Trams
Beware of trams swinging out at corners

Cyclists Red Reflector

"Unlocking the Secrets: Decoding the Language of Code" Code, a universal language that transcends time and space, has been an integral part of human history. From Leonardo da Vinci's intricate sketches depicting skull anatomy to the discovery of X and Y chromosomes shaping our genetic makeup, code reveals hidden truths. Dating back to ancient civilizations, we find the enigmatic "Code of Hammurabi, " a set of laws etched in stone that shaped Mesopotamian society. Fast forward to Marconi's revolutionary radio apparatus and the Telegraph Key transmitting messages through Morse Code; these inventions connected distant lands with a series of dots and dashes. The Enigma code machine used during World War II challenged even the brightest minds like Alan Turing, whose brilliance paved the way for modern computing. Meanwhile, Visigothic Code or Liber Iudiciorum established legal frameworks in medieval Spain while DNA molecules silently carried life's blueprint within every living organism. Intrigue deepens as we explore historical mysteries such as deciphering the Great Paris Cipher or decoding distress signals like SOS from Titanic's ill-fated voyage. The Twelve Tables of Rome drawn up by ancient lawmakers laid foundations for justice still relevant today. Code is not merely lines on paper or digital characters; it represents humanity's quest for knowledge and understanding. It bridges gaps between cultures, enabling communication across borders throughout centuries. As technology advances further into uncharted territories, let us remember that behind every line lies a story waiting to be unraveled—a testament to our insatiable curiosity about this complex world we inhabit.
