    We did have sort of a finger semaphore communication.

    Early digital photon, non-laser messaging.

    or … not-so-loud and not-so-clear – but hey – it works … and it’s fun for a while once in awhile.

    Had one strung between my tree-house and the back porch. If mom knew i was in my tree-house, she would tap on the can (the ring) to get my attention to listen. Usually calling me in for chores, lunch, or dinner. Saved yelling for me.

    My three younger brothers and I did do that, as well as shouting down the garden hose and later with cheap walkie-talkies that had about the same range. :)

    The trick, of course, was to think up something to say worth shouting loudly enough to be heard, even without the apparatus.

    I had one that ran from my window to the window of my friend next door. Straight shot across the back yard.

    To everybody: If you ever go to New York City with your family, go to Grand Central Terminal. Besides being one of the 10 biggest tourist stops. Go to the lower level by the Oyster Bar, go to the opposite ends outside the bar, one talks and the person at the opposite end will hear you! Speak softely. ;o)
