Hi Whoever,

sorry about the intro but I'm not sure to whom I'm calling.

As you can see from the attached letter, I'm compiling a book on Q & 2
Codes etc and Morse variants. I'm trying to obtain a copy of a book -

'The Semaphore Telegraph Systems of Van Diemen's Land'

Published in Hobart in 1972 by the       'Cat & Fiddle Press'.

It was a reprint of the original published in 1949.

I've had no luck to date.        Could C&F Press be in the Cat         &   Fiddle Arcade
which 1f I remember was in Hobart when I was down there about 20 years ago.

I gather from your address you are in the Tamar area. When I was down there
I visited the Low Head Pilot Station Tower. I saw and photographed a Morse
Chart there. It was only a snap and was not well aligned.

I would very much like to get a good photo of the Chart. If you could get
one for me I would be most grateful. I will of course pay for any cost.

I never got a reply to the attached letter.

Thank you for any assistance you can give.

TKs CUL,      73,    John.
