When you post a message where does the message go?
The message goes through unilateral wires to another person's device.
What did Samuel F B Morse do and say?
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.
What is the definition of telegram?
Telegram is a message sent over wires, usually in Morse code. A very common device before international phone lines existed.
How was Samuel Morse's telegraph different from Marconi's invention?
It used wires to transmit Morse Code over short distances
Did Morse code used dots and dashes to send message over wires?
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.
How a message transimitted by telegraph?
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.
What is Samuel Morse best known for?
Samuel Morse is the person who invented Morse Code. This was the first true long distance communication by sending pulses along electrical wires. Many people have been saved from danger because of Morse Code.
Who invented A device for transmitting long and short currents over wires?
Samuel Morse
What did samuel morse's telegraph use to transmit messages?
The first electrical telegraphs used Morse Code, sent as long and short electrical impulses along wires.
Who was the man who thought of dots and dashes to convey messages across telegraph wires?
Samuel Morse.
What has the author Steve Morse written?

Classics)' 'Open ears' -- subject(s): Rock music, Instruction and study, Guitar, Writing and publishing, Vocational guidance 'Steve Morse - High Tension Wires' 'Power Lines' 'The Complete Styles of Steve Morse' 'Steve Morse Band - Southern Steel (Play It Like It Is)' 'Steve Morse - Just the Riffs'
How does a telegraph send messages?
First, wires (like telephone wires) were strung between major cities. One wire fed into the telegraph keying machine, as shown above. The Telegraph Operator tapped on the lever (shown on the left - the black circular pad). The tappings represented letters of the alphabet that made up the words in the message. (Messages were kept very short!) The taps that formed letters created a signal. This was called Morse Code. The signal was carried through the overhead wires strung between telegraph poles (telephone has not yet been invented). The signals were heard in telegraph offices where Telegraph Operators could decipher the message being received.Telegraph Operators were all usually men. They wore knitted half sleeves (wrist to elbow), and the visor cap as shown in this video. Hanging on a string in front of him are the Morse Codes. Watch his finger tap out a message and hear it click as he receives a reply. In its heyday, the Telegraph Office would be full of those clicking sounds during a usual day; the office was always busy.
