@mwichary, 8-bit telegraph codes? Now that's curious.

Though it's a test generator, so perhaps it's just intended to support arbitrary sequences.

The earliest commercially successful telegraph technology required four cables to move needles on a letter-matrix

A more advanced circular alphabetical button board required even less decoding training

Both fell to the less-copper-demanding but skill-restricted Morse code
