TRANSPORTATION MARKINGS: A STUDY IN COMMUNICATION MONOGRAPH SERIES. VOLUME 1. PARTS C AND D. INTERNATIONAL MARINE AIDS TO NAVIGATION. SECOND EDITION

This monograph is the second edition of Volume I, Parts C and D of what was formerly termed Transportation Markings: A Study in Communication. The second edition is more than a reprinting of the 1980-1981 monograph. It includes updating of statistics, rearrangement of materials, expansion of some topics and replacement of buoy and topmark illustrations which are joined by illustrations of light phase characteristics and of daybeacons. International marine aids to navigation cover a broad range of devices and mechanisms ranging from the primitive to the sophisticated, from the ancient to current technologies. This study surveys the general rules and guidelines and attempts to suggest differences. Part C includes floating aids to navigation. Part D examines all types of fixed marine aids: visual, sound, end electronic.
