His work in telegram and telegraphic technology during the 19th century has aided the introduction of Morse Code. "Morse code is a type of character encoding that transmits telegraphic information using rhythm; with a standardized sequence of short and long elements to represent the given message. The short and long elements can be formed by sounds, marks, or pulses, in on off keying and are commonly known as "dots" and "dashes" or "dits" and "dahs". The speed of Morse code is measured in words per minute (WPM) or characters per minute, while fixed-length data forms of telecommunication transmission are usually measured in baud or bps."

"Dah-dah dah-dah-dah di-dah-dit di-di-dit dit, Dah-di-dah-dit dah-dah-dah dah-di-dit dit."
A tongue twister?
