Telegraph Code (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A telegraph code is a character encoding used to transmit information through telegraphy machines. The most famous such code is Morse code.Morse code can be transmitted and received with very primitive equipment. It encodes each letter of the alphabet as a series of dots and dashes. International Code developed from Morse's original listing and makes a binary code. The speed of sending is directly related to the length of the shortest (dot) element: a dash is three dots long, an inter-character gap is the same (3 dots) long, and inter-word and sentence gaps should be 5 or 7 dots long (change from earlier standard - 5 dots).
