True, but without the promotion and entrepreneurship of Morse, Vail
would likely not have developed the machines and code, and would have
just been another guy puttering in the family machine shop. Both made it

Ahh yes, if life were fair, it would be the American Vail Code. Unlike
Sam, Alfred had access to the family machine shop, was an accomplished
