Samuel Morse's first telegraph patented in 1840 was much more complex than the simple key that became common. The original device didn't require the sender to know a special code, they simply built messages from pre-made letters and fed them through the machine. In this episode of Make: Inventions I build Morse's original automated transmitter as well as a gravity-driven receiver that records Morse coded message to paper.
