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.
