I remember seeing Richards in Jean Luc Godard's documentary "Sympathy For The Devil," (aka "1+1," which was Godard's version) and thinking "Jeez--Keith is not long for this world." That was 1970.

Semaphore communication uses visual signals such as lights, flags or movable arms. There is a pretty complicated semaphore light system in marine navigation so a captain can telegraph the vessel status or activity. Traffic signals (red/yellow/white) and railroad semaphores are other examples.
