How Did Mores Contribute To The Invention Of The Telegraph

Samuel F.B. Morse was an inventor and an artist. He is best known however for his invention of the single wire telegraph and the co invention of mores code. With the help of other inventers, Mores was able to make models of the wire telegraphs, get a Patton on it, have wires installed up and down the Atlantic, changed the way the world and how ships communicate, and became a wealthy man. The telegraph is not used today because of the other ways we communicate but mores code is still used.
Mores was born on April 27th 1791 in Massachusetts and died on April 2nd 1872. He lived in New York, New York. Samuel Mores was married to Lucretia Walker and had three children. When Lucretia died he married again to a woman named Sarah Griswold and had four
Men such as; Joseph Henry, Alfred Vail, F.O.J Smith and Charles Jackson. All these men contributed to the telegraph and mores code in some way. A man by the name of Charles Jackson, was an inventor, he and Mores were debating that an electric impulse could be carried though just one single wire for a long stretch. Mores did not think it would work for a while but then he said “if this be so, and the presence of electricity can be made visible in and desired part of the circuit, I see no reason why intelligence might not be instantaneously transmitted by electricity to and distance” (quote). At saying this, he started inventing and sketching devices to make it possible. He thought up three different parts; the receiver, a sender, and a code. After four years of drawing, and improvements he invented a device. Mores got his first patent on his model after meeting a man named Alfred Vail in 1837 who helped pay and put mechanical skill into the
Mores famous message was tapped out in the telegraph line saying “What hath God wrought” in 1844. It did not take long for telegraph wires to be put in on both sides of the Atlantic. With his works of the telegraphs he became famous and wealthy. His fame and wealth did not come without hardships such as; legal claims and competitors. Samuel Mores handed over his business of inventing to a man named Amos Kendall. He was going to sell all the rights he had for one hundred thousand dollars to the government but, they were not willing to buy because of lack of interest. After handing over the rights, he lived a life with good fortune and fame.
The invention of the telegraph and mores code changed the ways that ships and people as sea communicate. The telegraph works by sending electric impulses through a wire. Morse code is a sequence of dots and dashes that are taped out on the telegraph. Each letter in the alphabet has its own sequence of dots and dashes. The mores code can be used in other ways such as flashing lights on and off and it is just like sending a message across the telegraph but with light
