Whose works helped Morse to invent the telegraph?
MORSE CODE
1. Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791-1872), a portrait painter
turned inventor, did not actually invent the telegraph (many
other men worked on the idea before him), but he did perfect
it after 12 years of effort. He transmitted the famous message
«What hath God wrought?» from Washington to Boston in
1844.
2. The first message in Morse code was tapped out in the United
States over a telegraph linе from Baltimore to Washington by
Samuel Morse in 1844.
3. Morse is often credited with the invention of the telegraph on
his return to the United States from a trip to Europe in 1832.
During this trip he became acquainted with the works of
Michael Faraday on electro-magnetism, which forms the basis
of the telegraph. This gave Morse the necessary impetus to go
ahead with his work.
4. In 1837 Morse exhibited his first truly successful instrument.
By 1838 he had developed the Morse code, an alphabet which
consisted of dots and dashes representing letters and numbers.
In the same year he attempted unsuccessfully to persuade
Congress to build a telegraph line.
5. It was not until 1843 that Congress voted to pay Morse to
build the first telegraph line in the United States from
Baltimore to Washington.
6. Later, Morse was caught in a mass of legal claims among his
telegraph partners and rival inventors. He was probably the
most successful propogator of the telegraph, although there
were many pioneers m the same field long before him. He
also introduced the daguerreotype, an early form of
photography, to America.
