Of light with another screen of suitable

viewed with binoculars equipped with
prisms, black line would appear In
the yellow region Of the spectrum

was interposed, permitting the signals
to be read. Another method consisted
in first breaking up the light at the
source into a spectrum across which
was placed one or more wires cutting
