  1. TheTelegraph By: Micah Collins

  2. Table of Contents • The Two Different Telegraphs • How the Telegraph Works • The Parts of the Telegraph

  3. The Two Different Telegraphs • There were two types of telegraphs. • One built by Samuel Morse. • The other by Cooke and Wheatstone.

  4. The Two Different Telegraphs (Continuation) • Cooke and Wheatstones telegraph was difficult to use and costly to install. • Thus, Morse’s telegraph prevailed.

  5. How the Telegraph Works • Morse code is the “code’ that telegraph messages are in. • Morse code was invented by Samuel Morse. • It is basically a bunch of dots and dashes.

  6. How the Telegraph works (Continuation) • A special pen wrote the pulses it received in Morse code on a strip of paper. • As a sender taps out a word, the machine completes a circuit and sends the message.

  7. The Parts of the Telegraph • The operating handle is moved left or right to select symbols to send in the message. • The receiver needle display also moves left or right to show the message it received. • The needle display used to have a special alphabet on it, but it eventually used Morse code.

  8. The Parts of the Telegraph (Continuation) • The electromagnetic coil controls the needle display in front of it. • It sits on a pivot so it could swing left or right depending on which way the electric current flowed.

  9. Conclusion • The telegraph is a complex and difficult machine to use. • Before you could use one, you would have to learn Morse code, learn how to use each part, and know what king of telegraph you are using.
