The technical growth and development of signals

Abstract

Technical Growth and Development of Signals will not be confined to the sequence of changes that have taken place in our own Indian Corps of Signals during the past years but to the technique of signaling as a generic subject with an international appreciation. Author propose to explain very briefly, owing to the limitation of time, how through the ages, the supporting arm of Signals has been an inseparable part of the field Army and the manner in which methods of signaling and equipment have undergone changes to conform to the growing needs of land operations. As the fighting arms of the Army became more and more mechanized, complex, widely dispersed and capable of holding larger frontages, so did the signaling arm undergo development to cope with the ever growing needs of field commanders to maintain control over their troops
