Then you're better than me. The dash has a click like the dot
and then a clack. If click = dot and clack = dash I might do
okay, but the my brain gave up when the clicks and clicks from
the click-clacks started running together.
The data about that first sound clip from the hosting page.
We don't have the documentation to go with the discs, but
the record logically enough, starts with ten single dots,
then ten single dashes. There next follows the letter A
(di-dah) 5 times, then letter B (dah-dididit) 5 times. At
this point, if you are not into the original American
Morse, consternation reigns! Probably we are expecting
letter ___C___to be 'dah-di-dah-dit', as in the
International Morse Code? No! In American Morse, ___C___
was ___didit , dit___, the comma indicating a space within
the character.
