The first Morse machines scribed the dots and dashes on a moving strip of
paper. Operators of the day found that they could decode the sound of the
scriber by ear, so the scribing machines were scrapped.

I seem to remember that the original Morse code was all clicks.

Wasn't there a strong click when the receiver circuit
closed and a different weak click when the circuit
opened? The length of time between those two types of
clicks was either a dot or a dash?
