Silent Telegraph Code Used by Brokers at Stock Exchange
A long standing mute signaling system lets telegraph operators convey buy or sell orders to brokers. Raising a finger means buy at an eighth, reversing it means sell. Additional fingers indicate other eighths, with specific hand gestures for three quarters and seven eighths. Some operators use independent signs to keep orders private.
