A means of comunication by wires over a long distance. Pulses of electric current carry information, most commonly using Morse Code. These are sent and received by simple equipment. A hand operated switch called a key sends the message. The message is received on the other end by a simple clicking device, a pen recorder or a pair of headphones.

The root word of telegraph is "tele," which comes from the Greek word "tele," meaning "far off" or "distant." So, telegraph essentially means "writing from a distance."
