Telegraphy is widely regarded as a forerunner of later digital communication.
Morse code was invented to create and interpret messages over electric devices, such as l
ight bulbs, switches, power supply, 3 connecting leads, etc. They are designed according to the following set of rules:
- a dash lasts as long as three dots only;
- space as long as one dot is left between each pulse;
- space as long as one dash is left between each letter of a word;
- space as long as 5 dots is left between each word of a sentence.
