Telegraph, system of communication employing electrical apparatus to transmit and receive signals in accordance with a code of electrical pulses.
The first electrical instruments for telegraphic transmission were invented in the United States by the American inventor Samuel F. Morse in 1837 and in Britain the same year by the British physicist Sir Charles Wheatstone in collaboration with the British engineer Sir William F. Cooke.
Because of this and the development of teleprinting machines during the mid-1920s, the Morse manual telegraph system of code and key was gradually discontinued for commercial use and replaced by automatic wire and wireless radio-wave methods of transmission.
