TO SIGNAL WITH FLAG OR TORCH — WIG-WAG
There are but one primary position and three motions. The primary position is with the flag or other signal apparatus held vertically in front of the center of the body, butt of staff at height of waist, signalman facing squarely towards the station with which it is desired to communicate. The first motion, or one " or " i," is a motion of the flag to the right of the sender. It should embrace an arc of 90°, start- ing ^at the vertical and returning to it without pause, and should be made in a plane exactly at right angles to the line connecting the two signal stations. The second motion, or *' two " or '^ 2, is a similar motion to the left of the sender. To make the third motion, " front " or " three " or " 3," the flag is waved to the ground directly in front of the sender, and instantly returned to the vertical position. Make a slight but distinct pause after each " letter," also after each " front."
