How Does Morse Code Work?

Back in the early 1800s, engineers and scientists were just starting to pioneer electrical communication methods. In 1836, Samuel Morse, Joseph Henry, and Alfred Vail invented the electrical telegraph system. It was the first system that allowed communication over great distances. However, there was a problem, – it could only communicate pulses of electricity to another machine.
This meant that you wouldn’t be able to communciate using voice or text, so a new way of getting messages across was needed.
A code was developed by none other than Samuel Morse to translate electrical pulses back into the original message.
