@MW1CFN yes, I had to wait a bit until I could find them. That said... it's worth the wait. Thank you for your support 🙏

@jenstirrup In the early 20th century, Marconi receving stations would record high-speed, automated Morse onto wax cylinders, then play them back at human-readable speed. #Marconi #wireless #Morsecode

@MW1CFN Thanks! I am going to see if I can find some pictures of this! The innovation at the time was just incredible IMHO.
My great Uncle was a codebreaker during WW2. He went to Bletchley briefly and then to India to break Japanese codes. I tried to learn Morse as a child when they used to offer the Morse code exam.

@jenstirrup I'll see if I can find a photo in the Marconi archives documents I obtained this summer in researching my book. There is certainly a text description of the process.
