		Morses petition for a patent was soon followed by a petition to Congress for an appropriation to defray the expense of subjecting the telegraph to actual experiment over a length sufficient to establish its feasibility and demonstrate its value.
		In 1847 Morse was compelled to defend his invention in the courts, and successfully vindicated his claim to be called the original inventor of the electromagnetic recording telegraph.

	Morse Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Morse Code can be transmitted in a number of ways: originally as electrical pulses along a telegraph wire, but also as an audio tone, as a radio signal with short and long pulses or tones, or as a mechanical or visual signal (e.g.
		Beginning in the mid-1830s, Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail developed an electric telegraph, which used electrical currents to control an electromagnet that was located at the receiving end of the transmission wire.
		Morse messages are generally transmitted by a hand-operated devices such as a telegraph key, so there are some variations introduced by the skill of the sender and receiver -- more experienced operators can send and receive at faster speeds.

	Adventures in CyberSound: Morse, Samuel Finley Breese
		Samuel F.B. Morse has been called "the American Leonardo," because, though he is most famed for inventing the telegraph and the dot-and-dash code used by telegraphers everywhere, he was also an accomplished artist and politician.
		Morse was born on April 27, 1791, in Charlestown, Massachusetts, the son of a distinguished clergyman and geographer, and he matriculated at Yale, where he developed a passion for painting miniature portraits, and a yen to study historical painting in England.
		Morse went home and retired to bed; but in the morning he was roused with the information that a few minutes before midnight his bill had come up, had been considered, and that he had been awarded $30,000 with which to make an experimental essay between Baltimore and Washington.

		Samuel F. Morse is known to the public at large as the inventor of the telegraph and to students of art as a portrait painter of considerable ability.
		Morse, in common with many other celebrities-for his telegraph was also a matter of public conversation-asked Daguerre for an interview in order to see and discuss the specimens of the new art.
		Morse was thus without means and, if it had not been for his return from his new venture in daguerreotype, he would have been in a precarious financial condition.

		Samuel Morse is, of course, best known for his invention of the telegraph, which was the most significant advancement in the area of communications since writing was developed.
		Morse then developed a relay device that could be attached to the telegraph line 20 miles from the signal station to repeat signals automatically and send them on.
		Morse went on to invent a code for use in his telegraph instrument, and this "Morse Code" is perhaps why his name is commonly known today.
