The term originates from the Allied Signals Book (ATP 1). Signals are
sent
as letters and/or numbers, which have meanings by themselves sometimes
or
in certain combinations. A single table in ATP 1 is called "governing
groups," that is, the entire signal that follows the governing group is
to
be performed according to the "governor." The letter "B" indicates this
table, and the second letter (A through Z) gives more specific
information.
For example, "BA" might mean "You have permission to . . . (do whatever
the
rest of the flashing light, flag hoist or radio transmission says) "BZ"
happens to be the last item in the governing groups table. It means
"well
done."
