Using Scimaphore to Communicate With the Earth

In 17 94 France developed a system by which giant pivoted arms on a tower could convey the signal to other towers. These messages could be read by telescopic tings. This was one way of carrying out this form of longiston's communication. But you would be required to have stations close enough toge r and enough of them that they could keep, like, seeing the message the last station transmitted. And so that does require a lot of intrastructure and like human operators for these big, weird puppets.
