  2. Morse code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code

    Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes, or dits and dahs. [3] [4] Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, one of the early developers of the system adopted for electrical telegraphy . International Morse code encodes the 26 ...

  3. Morse code mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code_mnemonics

    Morse code mnemonics are systems to represent the sound of Morse characters in a way intended to be easy to remember. Since every one of these mnemonics requires a two-step mental translation between sound and character, none of these systems are useful for using manual Morse at practical speeds. Amateur radio clubs can provide resources to ...

    The drawbar is then tightened, drawing the shank firmly into the spindle. The draw-bar is important on milling machines as the transverse force component would otherwise cause the tool to wobble out of the taper. All machine tapers are sensitive to chips, nicks (dents), and dirt. They will not locate accurately, and the self-holding variety ...

    A telegraph code is one of the character encodings used to transmit information by telegraphy. Morse code is the best-known such code. Telegraphy usually refers to the electrical telegraph, but telegraph systems using the optical telegraph were in use before that. A code consists of a number of code points, each corresponding to a letter of the ...
