Red mark inside front cover. Covers worn and spotted. Pencil erasure residue on fep. War Department Document No. 500. This supersedes Signal Book, United States Army, 1914. This 1916 Signal Book represents the baseline that the United States Army took into the First World War. The United States Army Signal Corps (USASC) develops, tests, provides, and manages communications and information systems support for the command and control of combined arms forces. It was established in 1860, the brainchild of United States Army Major Albert J. Myer, and has had an important role from the American Civil War through to the current day. Over its history, it had the initial responsibility for a number of functions and new technologies that are currently managed by other organizations, including military intelligence, weather forecasting, and aviation. In addition to visual signaling, including heliograph, the corps supplied telephone and telegraph wire lines and cable communications, fostered the use of telephones in combat, employed combat photography, and renewed the use of balloons. Shortly after the war, the Signal Corps constructed the Washington-Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System (WAMCATS) also known as the Alaska Communications System (ACS), introducing the first wireless telegraph in the Western Hemisphere.

Prima edizione
Staple-bound paperback. A SIGNED ASSOCIATION COPY copy of a scarce War Department publication from the beginnings of America's signals intelligence. The publication was largely the early work of William F. Friedman, who let the Signals Intelligence Service, predecessor of the National Security Agency. Friedman was inducted into the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame and received medals under presidents Truman and Eisenhower. This particular copy belonged to Professor Donald D. Millikin (1887-1949) who taught Cryptography at New York University in the years leading up to WWII and features his signature on the cover. His lectures were published in 1992 as "Elementary Cryptography and Cryptanalysis." War Department Training Pamphlets were typically issued unbound by the Government Printing Office to be placed into two ring binders at the unit level. This copy has a unique "T" punched style. It is bound with two heavy-duty staples. Cello tape was used as an early reinforcement on the inner hinges. The volume was wrapped in standard rust-colored government card stock. White cloth tape was used to reinforce the spine on the outside. Titles are hand written, presumably by Millikin, on the spine and the cover. The inside cover has the bookplate of the U. S. Army Military History Research Collection and states "presented by Col. V. J. Gregory." The cover has a faint stamp indicating that this volume, at one time, was part of the Library of Congress collection but was withdrawn as a duplicate copy. Wrapped in a modern custom jacket. Good with spine tape repairs. Pages clean and unmarked less date and owner stamps to title page.
