The message, usually written down or typed ( typewriters did not come out until after the Civil war_ in plain text- like send message. the telegrapher then tapped out the plain text ( right in front of him) in Morse Code. of course this requires a working knowledge of Morse telegraphy. later teletype came out which obviated tedious code practice- a machine like a typewriter printed out on paper tape ( key punch) the coded message- paid for in advance) and the tape was run thtough an automatic transmitter at a pre-set speed ( in synch with the receiver) non-code ops could get by with this system, which was used in Cable Telegraphy but BANNED for Amateur Radio use! There were also Bugs, or high speed telegraph keys used with the Morse system but having a speeded-up action. they tried to ban them for amateurs also. now we have computers and you can see what you are typing...- it is done.
