[NJARC] Inventor of Morse Code

[Nick Senker]

I visited Speedwell Village last fall and would highly recommend it; judging from the information presented there, Vail should be named as co-inventer as he developed the idea and made it workable.  Morse had the original idea much like De Forest had invented the triode, but others added significanly to these early inventions.

Hi Don,

Furthermore, Vail was a local boy.  The family estate, near 
Morristown, is an historic site, and has a display of 
reproductions of early Morse equipmemt.  The web resources 
are less that really helpful:  http://speedwell.org/

Happy New Year,
Al
