Samuel Finley Breese Morse
(1791 - 1872)
brought a practical system of telegraphy to the fore front using
electromagnets, and invented the code named after him in 1844.
Although in 1837 the development of an electric telegraph system
making use of a deflecting magnetic needle had already been
developed by Sir W. F. Cooke and Sir Charles Wheatstone, who
installed the first railway telegraph system in England, Morse
overcame both electrical design flaws and information flow
restrictions to enable the telegraph to become a viable system of
communication.
