Gathering dust and fading into history
Marconi British Air Ministry (A.M.) D Type Morse Key. 10F/7373. RAF (Royal Air Force) Type D Morse key, dating from the 1940's. The base and cover (not shown) is Bakelite, the key itself is of solid brass. Used by myself in the late 1960's and into the late 70's. The last time I used Morse code was 1987, in the Falkland Islands.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Doug Shepherd clubI tell them that Samuel Morse got so fed up with people telling him they 'knew' its meaning that he eventually gave up and said 'Yes of course'.
But it's on record that he intended it to be the easiest / quickest way for someone to send an emergency message in a smoke-filled engine-room!
I hope I'm right. Otherwise I have a duty to inform 100s of past students that I have mislead them!
Doug Shepherd club has replied to Andy Rodker clubWhen transmitted the dots of the S and the dashes of the O are sent without spaces between the letters. SOS has no meaning but is a distinctive combination of dots and dashes easily distinguished by a receiving operator. (believe me, when you hear it you sit up and take note!)
SOS remained the maritime radio distress signal until 1999, when it was replaced by the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System.
All rather boring compared to the rather more romantic story of 'Save Our Souls' linked to Mr Morse!
Enjoy the rest of the week informing your past students of the truth of the matter;-))

Andy Rodker club has replied to Doug Shepherd clubI had a feeling you would come up with the definitive answer!
Actually I got it from a book purporting to tell the TRUE story behind some common word and phrase 'origin' fallacies, such as 'posh' and 'OK'.
Should I write to the editors do you think!!!!!
:o)
Best wishes & good new week,
Rosa.
