An apparatus ,
or a process ,
for communicating intelligence rapidly between distant points ,
especially by means of preconcerted visible or audible signals representing words or ideas ,
or by means of words and signs ,
transmitted by electrical action .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
The instruments used are classed as indicator ,
type -
printing ,
symbol -
printing ,
or chemical -
printing telegraphs ,
according as the intelligence is given by the movements of a pointer or indicator ,
as in Cooke &
Wheatstone '
s (
the form commonly used in England ),
or by impressing ,
on a fillet of paper ,
letters from types ,
as in House '
s and Hughe '
s ,
or dots and marks from a sharp point moved by a magnet ,
as in Morse '
s ,
or symbols produced by electro -
chemical action ,
as in Bain '
s .
In the offices in the United States the recording instrument is now little used ,
the receiving operator reading by ear the combinations of long and short intervals of sound produced by the armature of an electro -
magnet as it is put in motion by the opening and breaking of the circuit ,
which motion ,
in registering instruments ,
traces upon a ribbon of paper the lines and dots used to represent the letters of the alphabet .
See Illustration in Appendix ,
and {
Morse code }.
[

Note :
In 1837 ,
Samuel F .
B .
Morse ,
an American artist ,
devised a working electric telegraph ,
based on a rough knowledge of electrical circuits ,
electromagnetic induction coils ,
and a scheme to encode alphabetic letters .
He and his collaborators and backers campaigned for years before persuading the federal government to fund a demonstration .
Finally ,
on May 24 ,
1844 ,
they sent the first official long -
distance telegraphic message in Morse code , "
What hath God wrought ,"
through a copper wire strung between Washington ,
D .
C .,
to Baltimore ,
Maryland .
The phrase was taken from the Bible ,
Numbers 23 :
23 .
It had been suggested to Morse by Annie Ellworth ,
the young daughter of a friend . --
