Working of a Telegraph - Physics
TELEGRAPH
It is the first modern instrument used in sending messages to a distant place in a very short time. The working of telegraph is made efficient on using Morse code in which each letter is given a code of dots and lines. Important parts of telegraph system are electro magnet (M),battery (B), Morse key (K), and long wire called cable.
Different parts of the telegraph are connected at the place (A).
The Morse Key (K) is connected to positive terminal of battery (B), and the negative terminal is connected to ground (Earth).
From the Morse Key the cable runs to the place B. At the place B the cable is connected to electro magnet (M)and ground (Earth). An armature is held in the position, in contact with rod K, with the help of springs (S).
When the Morse Key K is pressed, the circuit...

Invention of the Telegraph
Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail sent the first telegram using Morse code, and the first in America, on January 11, 1838 in Morristown, New Jersey from the Speedwell Ironworks. It was the beginning of a revolution in communications, as soon there were lines linking all the major cities on the East Coast. By 1861, the telegraph connected the West Coast to the East Coast, bringing an end to the Pony Express.
"It Happened Here: New Jersey" is a production of Kean University, in partnership with the New Jersey Historical Commission. Additional funding is provided by the Brotherton Trust and AT&T. The series is produced by PCK Media. For more information about this and other activities planned for New Jersey's 350th Anniversary, visit www.officialnj350.com.

How Does Morse Code Work?
Back in the early 1800s, engineers and scientists were just starting to pioneer electrical communication methods. In 1836, Samuel Morse, Joseph Henry, and Alfred Vail invented the electrical telegraph system. It was the first system that allowed communication over great distances. However, there was a problem, – it could only communicate pulses of electricity to another machine.
This meant that you wouldn’t be able to communciate using voice or text, so a new way of getting messages across was needed.
A code was developed by none other than Samuel Morse to translate electrical pulses back into the original message.

The working of telegraph is made efficient on using Morse code in which each letter is given a code of dots and lines. Important parts of telegraph system are electro magnet (M),battery (B), Morse key (K), and long wire called cable.
Different parts of the telegraph are connected at the place (A).
The Morse Key (K) is connected to positive terminal of battery (B), and the negative terminal is connected to ground (Earth).
From the Morse Key the cable runs to the place B. At the place B the cable is connected to electro magnet (M)and ground (Earth). An armature is held in the position, in contact with rod K, with the help of springs (S).
When the Morse Key K is pressed, the circuit is completed through ground which is a conductor. The electro magnet attracts the armature A and it produces a sound 'click' on striking the rod K2. On releasing the Morse key K, the circuit breaks and the armature goes to its original position touching the rod Kl.
If the time of contact of K is more it is called a line and if it is very short it is called dot.
Every letter like A,B,C,D and so on is allotted a code of dots and lines.
With the help of the code the message is transmitted at A and decoded at the station B to receive the message.
