Close... the things they transmitted over the wires were actually sounds. They just called tham dots for the shorter ones and dashes for the longer ones.
Samuel Morse is the man who made up Morse code, a code made up of series of dots and dashes.
you use dots and dashes in the Morse code
Samuel Morse is most famous for inventing the telegraph which is a means of communication by sending a series of dots and dashes over electrical wires to send a message. These series of dots and dashes came to be known as Morse Code.
Morse clicks, called Morse code, are dots and dashes. Dots are the short clicks, while dashes are longer. Morse clicks, called Morse code, are dots and dashes. Dots are the short clicks, while dashes are longer.
Morse Code
Samuel Morse developed Morse code for transmitting data using a series of dots and dashes.
Morse Code is a system of dots and dashes associated with sending a telegram.
The operator beats on a telegraph key which sends an electrical impulse over the wires to a receiver at the other end. Both the sender and the receiver have an understanding of Morse Code. The sender translates the message to a series of dots and dashes (._ A ) (SOS = ...---...). My code is pretty rusty; I don't get many messages by Morse Code anymore. The receiver translates the code back to language.
Morse code
Morse or Murray code. Morse uses a morse key worked by a skilled operator who sends a series of dots and dashes over the wire. Another operator listens to the dots and dashes and writes the message down on paper. Murray code is a five bit machine code, used by telexes and teleprinters.
Are you refering to Morse code? If so, its inventor is Samuel Morse. Hope this helps!
