Samuel FB Morse devised both the telegraph system and the code. the mode of code- that is dots and dashes was more or less discovered accidentally, the code itself was not. They used printing telegraphs which were clockwork tape registers ( this being the l840"s) and these were tied into the power supply so the shortest interval was a dot, a longer one, a dash. So, this being understood the Code was worked out. There are differences between the original Morse Code and the modern International Morse Code on some letters and punctuations. Somewhat oddly, one of the best-known Morse ciphers- the code for Red Alert: - - - - Four longs, evenly spaced- is not in the original land line (Morse) or international ( Radio-telegraph) forms of the Morse Code, but it well known. Four Longs- Red Alert! Even Spector used it in some of his songs.
