I had always thought that the inventor of Morse code was Samuel F.B. 
Morse.  A recent article
about the closing of the base at Fort Monmouth indicated that, early on, 
the installation was
named for "Alfred Vail, the inventor of Morse code". The article didn't 
give much more info
about Alfred Vail so I did a Google search on him and found that he was 
an early partner of
Mr. Morse . Check out  http://telegraph-history.org/alfred-vail/  it's 
an excellent site to learn about
Mr. Vail's work with dots and dashes.

           Happy New Year,  Be Well   Don
