LESSONS IN MORSE
Sir-In all the lessons on Morse published in your interesting journal, the alphabet is shown, quite rightly, thus: -, -.. ---, etc. There was a telegraph instrument used (many years ago) on British railways called the single needle. This of course is out of date probably, and almost unknown in New Zealand, but I mention it because the alphabet was always written thus: ./, /.., /./. Fee ig nl % tS PEG | = I suggest that learners could, if they desired, correspond (for practice) in this manner, which is quicker to write, takes up only a fraction of the space, and you will agree, is much neater.
