Abstract
In such advanced devices as computers, facsimiles and CD players, information is sent by digital signals. The Morse code, composed of dots and dashes, is a forerunner of digital communications codes. The code was originated about 1840 by the American inventor Samuel F. B. Morse and his assistant Alfred Vail. In 1851 an international convention improved the original Morse’s code and the resulting newer code is called the International Morse code.
