The flashing of light, as a means of arresting attention for innumerable purposes on land, at sea, and in the air or space, has become so much a feature of our lives that an appraisal of its merit as a signal, or as a means of communicating or unfortunately confusing essential information, has grown into a matter for urgent international consideration and agreement.
