| '''Morse code''' was a symbolic representation of the alphabet, in which letters were represented by a series of sonic bursts of varying lengths. These bursts were visually represented by dots and dashes. The code allowed for messages to be compiled, one letter at a time, and sent between any two parties who could understand them.
