his brother
A machine, Samuel F. B. Morse, was built to make "dits" and "dots" to send help messages like SOS.
so he made lots of money...
it was 8.100 cents hi kelsie
He invented the first electric telegraph. This made a huge impact on America because it allowed people to communicate over long distances.
Before telephones were invented, they could send messages over long distances by using pulses of electricity to signal the machine to make marks on a moving paper tape. A code was necessary to help translate the marks on the paper tape into readable text messages. Morse developed the first version of this code.
Samuel F.B. Morse, with the assistance of Alfred Vail, invented Morse Code in 1835 when, as a professor of arts and design at New York University, he proved that signals could be transmitted by wire. Originally, Morse Code was a series of written codes on a strip of paper, but in 1836, the device used to produce the written codes was modified to emboss the paper with dots and dashes, which he modestly called Morse's Code. The message sent as the first public demonstration was "What hath God wrought".
Inspector Morse's first name was Endeavour, after Captain Cook's ship. Morse's creator, Colin Dexter, decided to give him this unique first name to make him stand out and be memorable among other fictional detectives.
HOW THEY MADE A MORSE CODE MACHINE Samuel F.B. Morse and Alfred Vail developed an electric telegraph which sent pulses of electrical current to control an electromagnet that was located at the receiving end of the telegraph wire.
It's a series of dots lines and spaces that when arranged in a certain order make out words.
No exact number is given. Several sources, including Elon University School of Communications simply say that Morse made 'several' or 'many' failed attempts before being successful with the telegraph system. His first telegraph system went from Washington, DC to Baltimore, Maryland.
