Hi Phil
Graham Donley's Signals and Signallers Badges of the Australian Army 1870-2006 shows a straight brass title CAS. Perhaps the Victorians had a curved title in these letters like the AFA and AGA titles. Orders for Dress and Clothing 1906 provided for the letters CAS as a title.
The name of the corps at that time was Corps of Australian Signallers and I doubt they wore ASC in cloth, not being raised until 1906, at which point cloth titles were abolished and replaced by metal titles. ASC was used by the Army Service Corps.
