Where the RM shone as an SM was with yardarm blinker, because a key was used to create the dots and dashes. The RM tended to key the blinker so fast that the light was a blur. When we were in port, as dusk fell, you could see yardarm lights blinking everywhere as signalmen chatted with pals on other ships. Remember?
