Cracking the (Morse) Code
The Morse Code system was invented in the 1830s by American artist Samuel Morse. This system of electrical telegraphy utilised a series of dots and dashes to represent letters of the alphabet and numerical values. The College Museum houses an interesting collection of morse signalling keys, receivers and other objects associated with telegraphy.
