Why is Morse code called Morse code?

Answer 1

Samuel FB Morse devised both the telegraph system and the code. the mode of code- that is dots and dashes was more or less discovered accidentally, the code itself was not. They used printing telegraphs which were clockwork tape registers ( this being the l840"s) and these were tied into the power supply so the shortest interval was a dot, a longer one, a dash. So, this being understood the Code was worked out. There are differences between the original Morse Code and the modern International Morse Code on some letters and punctuations. Somewhat oddly, one of the best-known Morse ciphers- the code for Red Alert: - - - - Four longs, evenly spaced- is not in the original land line (Morse) or international ( Radio-telegraph) forms of the Morse Code, but it well known. Four Longs- Red Alert! Even Spector used it in some of his songs.

Answer 2

It's not used that much today. But the strength of it in is its simplicity and ruggedness. As long as you have something that can make both long and short signals you can get a message across. If you are in a car and want to tell something to someone that you can't shout to, you can get the message across by honking the horn of turning the lights on and off.

Answer 3

Morse Code provides a letter-based method of communication by means of any type of signal that can be switched on and off ... light, sound, etc. As such, it can accomodate messages in any language that uses the familiar Roman (English) alphabet. While using the simplest possible transmitting and receiving equipment, it is highly immune to noise, and can succeed over very noisy 'channels'.

Answer 4

Morse code was created by Alfred Lewis Vail, Samuel F.B. Morse's partner.
