The idea was to create a flare that, when exploding, spilled several colors to communicate different messages through combinations of light signals.
She is a shadow figure because the project she did with her husband's idea was signed in the name of her deceased husband because at that time they did not let the women sign their name, only the men could sign. When that law disappeared, the honors went to Martha Coston but at that time she was very old.
