TELEGRAPH INSTRUMENTS AND MORSE CODE
There is growing interest in collecting old telegraph instruments and morse keys, as well as in the code books and telegrams of years gone by. Morse code, too, has a fascination particularly among people who have come to use and love the key -  ships' operators, railway telegraphists and radio amateurs  -  and whatever others may believe, these people are making sure that morse code has a long life ahead.
