Stone healing scripture
_b_606.jpg)
The stone healing script was invented by Carl August von Steinheil in order to be able to transmit messages by means of an electric telegraph . Steinheil used positive and negative voltage pulses of equal length for signal transmission. His writing telegraph therefore recorded these positive and negative impulses as dots on a strip of paper in two lines with two pens, each responding only to currents in one direction. Steinheil restricted the length of a character to a maximum of four impulses, so 30 codes were available, so there was not a separate code for each letter and number.
The Morse code is a one-line dot-script, invented by Samuel Morse and developed by Friedrich Clemens Gerke . In contrast to Morse, Steinheil used a method of two-dimensional pattern recognition for coding. The technician Emil Stöhrer built a writing telegraph with two pens in 1849 and wrote dots and dashes in every line .
