Baudot developed his first multiplexed telegraph in 1872 [3] [4] and patented it in 1874. [4] [5] In 1876, he changed from a six-bit code to a five-bit code, [4] as suggested by Carl Friedrich Gauss and Wilhelm Weber in 1834, [3] [6] with equal on and off intervals, which allowed for transmission of the Roman alphabet, and included punctuation and control signals.
Baudot code / ITA1: 1870 5 bits Piano-like telegraph operation, SIGCUM cipher operation Chinese telegraph code: 1881 4 digits Chinese telegraph communications Murray code: 1901 5 bits Machine run telegraph operation using punched paper, moved optimization from minimal operator fatigue to minimal machinery wear ITA2: 1924 [1] 5 bits
A variant of the Baudot–Murray code became an international standard as International Telegraph Alphabet no. 2 (ITA 2) in 1924. The "2" in ITA 2 is because the original Baudot code became the basis for ITA 1. ITA 2 remained the standard telegraph code in use until the 1960s and was still in use in places well beyond then. [12] The ITA 2 code ...
At the beginning was the International Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 , a five-bit code. IA5 is an improvement, based on seven-bit bytes. IA5 is an improvement, based on seven-bit bytes. Recommendation V.3 IA5 (1968): Initial version, superseded [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
A wire signal is a brevity code used by telegraphers to save time and cost when sending long messages. The best-known code was the 92 Code adopted by Western Union in 1859. The code was designed to reduce bandwidth consumption over telegraph lines, thus speeding transmissions by utilizing a numerical code system for frequently used phrases.
Telegraph (and telex) charged per word sent, so companies which sent large volumes of telegrams developed codes to save money on tolls. Elaborate commercial codes which encoded complete phrases into single words were developed and published as codebooks of thousands of phrases and sentences with corresponding codewords.
Donald Murray (20 September 1865– 14 July 1945) was an electrical engineer and the inventor of a telegraphic typewriter system using an extended Baudot code that was a direct ancestor of the teleprinter (teletype machine).
The following telegraph code table is adapted from one given by Ashok Kelkar, [2] where the Latin letters are encoded as per the International Morse code standard. Some variations on this code exist, [3] and there have been some attempts to introduce other telegraph codes either to improve efficiency or to apply to more Indian languages.
