With electricity available ((...)) in 1897 Captain (later Admiral Sir Percy) Scott devised a slatted shutter which could be fitted over a searchlight's face. This was originally intended for night signalling over long distances by the reflections in the sky, even with hills intervening, but it was soon realized that it could be used very effectively by day up to horizon distance between ships provided the light was accurately aimed, and from then on it was used extensively for long distance signalling.
