![]() Subject: Big Day for Morse-Vail Telegraph |
Today is the anniversary of the demonstration in 1838 of electromagnetic telegraphy in the original "Morse" code [aka American Morse] of dots, dashes, long dashes, longER dashes, and significant spaces. And an opportunity to recall those valiant men (and women... and boys) who went beyond clockwork and tape to "ear" copying. And admiration for those who recall and re-enact the art -- to those who still comprise the fraternity of telegraphers. |
