#C++ program to print diamond pattern

[w3codeworld]

Butterfly pattern can be drawn using the code of C++. Like the other patterns such as rectangle, diamond, triangle, the butterfly pattern needs some basic concept of C++ to be drawn. The principal idea to write a C++ program to print the butterfly pattern is for a loop.

Unlocking the Secrets of our Floral Teacups

By Lisa Timmerman, Executive Director

While “Save-the-Dishes” sounds like a fantastic social media hashtag, HDVI Administrative Director Kimberly Ward launched this campaign in 2002 to “create the proper atmosphere for interpretation of the period of occupation”. While the dishes were only the first wave of a larger Victorian Parlor drive (click here to read about our wall covering!), our bone china absolutely delights our visitors today as people recognize and recall their memories enjoying the Old Country Roses Style.

Debuting in 1962, it featured “gorgeous clusters of red, pink, and yellow roses, flamboyant edging and 22 carat gold embellishments”. Harold Holdcroft drew upon different inspirations from the 1921 King’s Ransom pattern to the beauty of a quintessential English country garden in the “haze of summertime.” While this iconic style excited people in the 1960s, the pottery had enticed customers from the late 1890s.Thomas C. Wild purchased Albert Works pottery in 1896 in Stoke-on-Trent named to pay homage to the birth of Prince Albert the previous year. After producing commemorative pieces for Queen Victoria’s 1897 Diamond Jubilee, Albert Crown China earned the Royal Warrant in 1904. By 1910, the Company had expanded to New Zealand and would eventually produce in Australia, Canada, and the U.S. with their innovative gas and electric fired kilns. In 1917, Thomas Wild’s sons joined the company changing the name to Thomas Wild & Sons and the Royal Albert Incorporated as a limited company in 1933. Pearson Group acquired the pottery in the 1960s adding it to the company’s other Allied English Potters. By 1970, the company officially disassociated itself with T.C. Wild & Sons renaming it to Royal Albert Ltd. The marks on the china also changed from simple printed or impressed crown marks with the initials “T.C.W.” to concentric circle to a crown interlocking.

While our pattern is English, the fashion and etiquette of elaborate tea services went beyond any one border and certainly predates the 1960s! Colonial Americans enjoyed imported beverages like tea and highly valued serving these drinks in fine silver and ceramic vessels. By the start of the 18th century, American silversmiths produced teapots – at first globular and then eventually drum and oval shaped. Sugar bowls, tea pots, hot water urns, and canisters for dried tea leaves all populated the tables of the wealthy in attempt to impress their visitors. Meanwhile, the British searched for an alternative to importing porcelain from China and Thomas Frye incorporated an interesting ingredient to his Bow Porcelain Factory productions in 1748 – bone. His factory was close to slaughterhouses and the introduction of bone ash produced sturdier teaware. This idea caught on and by 1780, Joseph Spode of Stoke-on-Trent, introduced “Stoke China” until his son renamed it to “bone china” after his death. Adding bone ash also creates a creamier and softer color and can be admired when held up into the light as it is more translucent than fine china, which contains no bone.

The “Save-the-Dishes” Campaign was an overwhelming success thanks to: The Prince William County Historical Commission, The Dr. Elisha Dick Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution; Charles Reid, Wayne Neavear, Catherine Patterson, Edward and Mary Roman, Isabelle M. Lockett, Laura A. Barlow, Barbara Shutt, visitors, volunteers, and HDVI staff. As you walk into our Victorian Parlor, take time to admire the pieces but also think of the delightful recipes you could pair with it, such as Malinda Russell’s Raspberry Tea Cake, her cakes famous for being so light: “One cup white sugar, one pint sour cream, three tablespoons melted butter, three cups flour, one and a half teaspoon soda, two do. Cream tartar, grated nutmeg, mix into a batter; pour over sheet paper into dripping-pan; bake in a quick oven; when done, cut into squares, crush the berries, and sweeten to your taste. Cover the cake with berries…” For more recipes, look for Malinda Russell’s A Domestic Cook Book published in 1866, recognized as one of the oldest cookbooks written by an African-American woman.

The comp programs serve as a valuable marketing tool for the casinos, as well: they develop a patron database that can be used for advertising and to track trends in game preference and spending. http://edition.cnn.com/search/?text=안전토토사이트 A come-out roll of 2, 3 or 12 is called "craps" or "crapping out", and anyone betting the Pass line loses. $1 Eleven only on come out 3.29% per roll, $3.35 per hour, $67.09 per trip This gives a loss of 2.04×0.0246 = 0.050184 units/round. Any time the Jackpot produces a Player Edge of 5.02% or higher the player will have an overall advantage across both the main game and Jackpot bet.

There are many local variants of the calls made by the stickman for rolls during a craps game. These frequently incorporate a reminder to the dealers as to which bets to pay or collect. The Belgian-Genoese pattern is very similar to its Parisian parent and is basically an export version not subject to France's domestic stamp tax. One aspect of casino gambling that’s especially appealing to players is the fact that the majority of games are very straightforward. Although of German origin, this pattern is now produced only in Italy. They consist of 52 cards and no indices. Around 1870, Dondorf of Frankfurt produced the Rhineland pattern.

This website celebrates an iconic design, the standard playing card. The most common type of playing card is that found in the French-suited, standard 52-card pack, of which the most common design is the English pattern,[a] followed by the Belgian-Genoese pattern. Europeans learned about Tarot cards from the Egyptians. Tarot decks consisted of 78 cards and had suits similar to Swords, Slaves, Cups, and Coins. The first Tarot decks in Europe can back to northern Italy as far as the mid-15th Century. The earliest decks were influenced by Mamluk decks found in Egypt. The following return table is based on the pay table above. Other pay tables are known to exist, which would change the odds.At Internet casinos using Galewind Software there are some rule changes.

Most typically (Mayfair casinos in London and other top-class European casinos) with these maximum or full complete bets, nothing (except the aforementioned maximum button) is ever placed on the layout even in the case of a win. Either way, commercial opportunities likely enabled card playing’s transmission between the Far East and Europe, as printing technology sped their production across borders.While there are casinos in many places, a few places have become well known specifically for gambling. Perhaps the place almost defined by its casino is Monte Carlo, but other places are known as gambling centers. In a traditional French-suited deck of cards, there are four suits. There are the spades, the hearts, the diamonds, and the clubs.

Specifically, the sum of all the individual losses is used to fund the big jackpots. Oregon's VLT program was modeled upon those deployed in Canada.There are two exceptions to the method described above. Video poker machines in casinos in the United States are regulated by state or Indian gaming agencies. These agencies typically require that the machines deal random card sequences using a virtual deck of cards.

Most casinos offer “comps,” which is short for “complimentaries” (free items). During the 1970s Las Vegas casinos were famous for their deeply discounted travel packages, cheap buffets, and free show tickets. Both the players and the dealers stand around a large rectangular craps table. Sitting is discouraged by most casinos unless a player has medical reasons for requiring a seat.For example, using this method if a player were to bet $2 on C & E, $1 would receive 7:1 payout on craps minus $1 for the bet on 11 so the total profit would be $6. If an 11 was rolled the player would receive 15:1 minus $1 for the bet on craps so the player's total profit is $14. Both methods of calculation yield the same result so either method can be used. Lay bet maximum are equal to the table maximum win, so if a player wishes to lay the 4 or 10, he or she may bet twice at amount of the table maximum for the win to be table maximum.

Ohio, for example, has a so-called "Voluntary Exclusion" program for gamblers looking to kick the habit that allows them to ban themselves for either a year, five years, or life. Let's get started with a little more background information to help you decide if casino gambling is right for you.Video poker is a single-player video game that functions much like a slot machine; most video poker machines play draw poker, where the player bets, a hand is dealt, and the player can discard and replace cards. Payout is dependent on the hand resulting after the draw and the player's initial bet. If the first number ends with an 8, 9, or 0, another number may be drawn as there are no numbers starting with an 8 or 9 and only 9 numbers starting with a 0. Some halls will also redraw a number ending with a 7 as there are only six numbers beginning with a 7.

If you’re going to practise card counting, at least learn to be discreet about it. In the 1937 comedic short story "All's Well with Bingo", by British writer P. G. Wodehouse, the main character Bingo Little plays roulette at the Monte Carlo casino, betting on black. 더킹카지노 Further analysis revealed no evidence of play migration from the high-priced games, despite the fact their low-priced counterparts were located a mere 3 feet away. Because the probability of throwing a seven is 1/6, on average one throw in six would be favourable and five would not; the odds against throwing a seven are therefore 5 to 1.

Morse Code’s Vanquished Competitor: The Dial Telegraph

In 1842, French watchmaker Louis-François Breguet invented a simpler to use but less efficient alternative

Photo: Technical University of Madrid

Over the years, I’ve played with interactive telegraph exhibits in science centers and museums. I can tap out the common ••• – – – ••• of the emergency distress signal, and I know the letters H (••••) and E (•), but beyond that, Morse code’s patterns of dots and dashes run together in my brain. Stories of telegraph operators who could decipher hundreds of characters a minute still amaze me.

Recently, though, I learned about the needle telegraph. On both the sending and receiving end, the needle or needles would simply point to the desired letter. Finally, a user-friendly telegraph system, provided the user knew how to read.

The first needle telegraph was patented by William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone in Britain in 1837. The design used a set of magnetic needles arranged in a row, with letters of the alphabet arranged above and below them in a diamond grid pattern. Each needle could point left, right, or neutral; to indicate a letter, two needles would point so as to outline a path to that letter. The sending operator controlled the direction of the needles by pressing buttons that closed the circuits for the desired letter combination.

No Code Needed: William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone’s needle telegraph required no special training, but its use of multiple telegraph lines made it expensive to operate.

Although any number of needles could be used, Cooke and Wheatstone recommended five. This combination allowed for 20 possible characters. They omitted the letters C, J, Q, U, X, and Z. Early telegraphs were mainly used for transmitting simple signals, rather than discussion-style communication. For example, to indicate whether a one-way tunnel was clear, an operator might send the short message “wait” or “go ahead.” So the absence of a few letters wasn’t a huge shortcoming.

Operators needed minimal training to use the system, which their employers appreciated. But the system was otherwise costly to operate because it required a wire for each needle plus an additional return wire that completed the circuit. Maintaining multiple wires proved expensive, and many British railroads adopted a version that used just one needle and two wires. A single-needle system, however, required that operators learn a code to send and receive signals. Gone was the ease of simply reading letters.

Cooke and Wheatstone must have realized there was room for improvement, because in 1840 they came out with a dial (or ABC) telegraph, whose face displayed all the letters of the alphabet. The operator selected the desired letter by pressing the appropriate button and turning the handle; the needle on the receiver’s dial would swing around to point to that letter. However, a dispute between the two inventors kept this version of the telegraph from being commercialized. Only after the 1840 patent had expired did Wheatstone return to the dial telegraph, eventually patenting several improvements.

Meanwhile, the French had been using an optical telegraph system that Claude Chappe developed during the French Revolution. It relied on semaphore signals transmitted along a line of towers. By 1839, Alphonse Foy was in charge of over 1,000 optical-telegraph operators, but he saw the need to investigate the growing development of electric telegraphs. He sent Louis-François Breguet to England to study Cooke and Wheatstone’s needle telegraph. The first result was the Foy-Breguet telegraph, which used two needles that mimicked semaphore signals.

Image: Class Image/Alamy

Watch and Learn: French watchmaker Louis-François Breguet studied designs for the needle telegraph before devising his own dial telegraph.

Breguet was manager of his family’s watchmaking company, Breguet & Fils, and not long after, he developed a dial telegraph that had both the appearance and the working mechanism of a clock [receiver shown at top]. When activated by an electric current from the sender, a spring connected by gears rotated the needle around the dial; an escapement—the toothed-wheel mechanism that in a clock moves the hands forward—kept the needle in place in the absence of a signal.

Breguet divided the face into 26 slots, with an inner ring of numbers and an outer ring of letters. The starting position was at the top, noted by a cross, leaving room for 25 letters. At the end of each word, the needle would return to the starting position. Some versions omitted the letter W; others omitted the letter J.

After French railroads adopted the Breguet telegraph and made it standard equipment, it became known as the French railway telegraph; it remained in use until the end of the century. Breguet’s system was also exported to Japan, connecting Tokyo and Yokohama as well as Osaka and Kobe. A new face for the telegraph incorporated Japanese katakana characters.

Big in Japan: This print depicts a Breguet system in use at the Yokohama telegraph office. The man in Western-style clothing is Scottish engineer George Miles Gilbert, who was hired by the Japanese government to oversee the introduction of telegraphy.

Of course, even Breguet’s dial telegraph was limited in the range of characters it could transmit. Operators of the needle and dial telegraphs had to somehow deal with missing letters—perhaps they just made their best guess based on context, or perhaps companies devised their own codes for specific letters or symbols. Louis-François Breguet couldn’t properly transmit the cedilla in his own name, but maybe he accepted it as a limitation of the technology.

As it happens, as early as the 1840s, Friedrich Clemens Gerke, the telegraph inspector for the Hamburg-Cuxhaven line in Germany, was noting similar shortcomings with Morse code. The code, developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the United States, was fine for the unaccented English alphabet. To accommodate European languages, Gerke added accented letters; he also significantly revised the patterns of dots and dashes for letters and numbers, making the entire code more efficient to transmit. His version, which became known as Continental Morse Code, spread throughout Europe.

Despite the expanded code’s popularity, the International Telegraphic Union took many years to embrace it. In his 2017 book The Chinese Typewriter: A History, Thomas Mullaney describes the slow, conservative evolution of Morse code. In 1865, the ITU settled on a set of standardized symbols that were decidedly Anglocentric. Three years later, it confirmed the standard codes for the 26 letters of the English alphabet, the numerals 0 to 9, plus 16 special characters—mostly punctuation, plus the e-acute, É. In 1875, the ITU elevated É to a standard character and added six more accented letters as special characters: Á, Å, Ä, Ñ, Ö, Ü. It wasn’t until 1903 that the ITU accepted these supplemental characters as standard. Languages based on nonalphabetic characters, such as Chinese, were never incorporated, although some countries adopted their own telegraphic codes. Thus did the technology of telegraphy connect and also divide the world in new and unexpected ways.

The Breguet telegraph receiver that touched off my inquiries is on display at the Museum of the School of Telecommunication Systems Engineering at the Technical University of Madrid. The museum was started in the 1970s by a small group of professors, who scoured antique shops and flea markets to collect artifacts representing the history of communications. Rather than confining its objects to a dedicated space, the museum maintains exhibit cases in hallways throughout the school, where students, visitors, and others can stumble upon them every day.

I wonder if those who see the Breguet dial telegraph draw connections to modern technology. The set of characters on computer keyboards, for example, vary from place to place and language to language. I remember attending a student conference in Istanbul in 1998 and being unable to access my email. I didn’t realize that Turkish keyboards have both a dotless and a dotted i key, and so I kept hitting the wrong one. A few months later I met students in Hamburg who were using American keyboards to do their computer programming. They’d discovered that German keyboards of the era required three keystrokes to make a semicolon, which slowed down their coding.

Such tales are good reminders of the persistence and the fluidity of language, which adapts to new technologies just as new technologies are molded by their users.

An abridged version of this article appears in the September 2018 print issue as “The ABCs of Telegraphy.”

Part of a continuing series looking at photographs of historical artifacts that embrace the boundless potential of technology.

Unit 33, Modeste, C. - Task 4

When tasked with a project of designing packaging for a luxury brand, one must take a few things into consideration before the design process can begin. Infusion Beverages Incorporated (IBI) has requested visual branding for a new line of beverages called Elevation.

Firstly, the designer needed to be clear whom the brand is targeting. Elevation targets high-income professionals who frequently travel and engage in leisure activities. They also appreciate and are drawn to the more luxurious and finer things in life. They are open to new products and experiences; they are innovators. Currently , this market is exposed to other brands and products who do seem to satisfy them such as  MOET Champagne, 2014 Varner Wines, Foxglove Chardonnay, Krug Clos du Mesnil 2000 Champagne and Hennessy Paradis Rare Cognac. So how will Elevation stand out amongst these?

The designer decided to make heavy usage of a few principles and elements of design that suit the target and that will produce the success intended. One sought to design an organic, minimalistic pattern that will not only fully utilize the brand’s colours, but also suit the target. Walden (2014) agrees that Minimalism reigns supreme. She quotes Alaina Johnson, art director at Killer Infographics,

“Minimalism is always a good route to go when trying to achieve something more elegant and upscale”. According to VanEenoo (2011) Minimalism means using limited material to create a desired effect.

The limited materials used were that of the brand’s colours including black and organic as well as geometric lines. The bottling of competitors mentioned are mostly curved or rounded. The designer saw this as an opportunity to go a different route of having Elevation’s bottles carry a geometric design. A combination of straight lines formed almost a diamond-like shape that will grab the attention of the consumer by not only subtly mimicking the shape of a pricy jewel, but also stands out amongst it’s competitors.

Adding as well as contrasting the unique bottle shapes, organic lines of the brand’s colours wrap around the bottle as the label with the logo centered. The lines vary in size, shape and colour that speak fluidity, free flowing leisure and fun to the consumer. The lines contrast in tone by being bright upon a dark/black solid. The thin white lines create detail which is appreciated by the target market looking as though it took careful thought and time to produce said Walden.

The packaging of the bottles all possess like elements such as the wrapped design seen on bottle whilst including white vertical line/rectangle contrasting  the horizontal label mimicking that of a tied gift.

Both bottle and package designs were executed using the highly professional illustration program Adobe Illustrator. It was said that Illustrator enables the user to draw smooth curves and create high-resolution shapes and images (Encyclopedia Britannica 2018). The designer is greatly familiar with this software, which made it easier to perform the task given.  To achieve the sleekness of the design imagined as well as considering the packaging would have to be printed, this was also the software of choice because of its high-resolution capabilities. Adobe Photoshop, another software used for image manipulation and creation, was also considered in the beginning because of its diverse tools for creating such as the brush tool and pen tool which can produce a variety of creative outcomes. However, quality is limited due to its pixel-based programming. The client has requested sophistication and luxury and with that comes high quality.

Crisp and fluid lines could not have been achieved to their highest level with the use of Adobe Photoshop due to the skill of the designer as well as the fuzzy feel of the brushes available.  Illustrator’s pencil tool, transparent and masking capabilities, provided the desired look and feel of the client’s request coupled with the advanced skills of the designer within the program. The pencil tool in Illustrator was found to be more diverse than Photoshop’s brush tool because of the various types and scales of strokes one can achieve when creating a line as well as it’s path segment reshape feature to complete and refine a simple illustration. Plant (2017) explains how you can achieve extra level of accuracy to create even smoother paths using this tool

After completing design in Illustrator, one can express satisfaction with line and colour quality, however the bottles could have been executed in a more realistic form by using a 3D based program, such as Autodesk Maya, for a better or more elegant feel. The designer is not verse in 3D programs, for improvement, packaging and bottle design can be developed using mentioned program.

In conclusion, the design embodied all elements and approach the client desired. The logo is fully visible and the product definitely suits the target as well as will stand out amongst competitors.

Morse Code’s Vanquished Competitor: The Dial Telegraph

In 1842, French watchmaker Louis-François Breguet invented a simpler to use but less efficient alternative

Over the years, I’ve played with interactive telegraph exhibits in science centers and museums. I can tap out the common ••• – – – ••• of the emergency distress signal, and I know the letters H (••••) and E (•), but beyond that, Morse code’s patterns of dots and dashes run together in my brain. Stories of telegraph operators who could decipher hundreds of characters a minute still amaze me.

Recently, though, I learned about the needle telegraph. On both the sending and receiving end, the needle or needles would simply point to the desired letter. Finally, a user-friendly telegraph system, provided the user knew how to read.

The first needle telegraph was patented by William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone in Britain in 1837. The design used a set of magnetic needles arranged in a row, with letters of the alphabet arranged above and below them in a diamond grid pattern. Each needle could point left, right, or neutral; to indicate a letter, two needles would point so as to outline a path to that letter. The sending operator controlled the direction of the needles by pressing buttons that closed the circuits for the desired letter combination.

No Code Needed: William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone’s needle telegraph required no special training, but its use of multiple telegraph lines made it expensive to operate.

Although any number of needles could be used, Cooke and Wheatstone recommended five. This combination allowed for 20 possible characters. They omitted the letters C, J, Q, U, X, and Z. Early telegraphs were mainly used for transmitting simple signals, rather than discussion-style communication. For example, to indicate whether a one-way tunnel was clear, an operator might send the short message “wait” or “go ahead.” So the absence of a few letters wasn’t a huge shortcoming.

Operators needed minimal training to use the system, which their employers appreciated. But the system was otherwise costly to operate because it required a wire for each needle plus an additional return wire that completed the circuit. Maintaining multiple wires proved expensive, and many British railroads adopted a version that used just one needle and two wires. A single-needle system, however, required that operators learn a code to send and receive signals. Gone was the ease of simply reading letters.

Cooke and Wheatstone must have realized there was room for improvement, because in 1840 they came out with a dial (or ABC) telegraph, whose face displayed all the letters of the alphabet. The operator selected the desired letter by pressing the appropriate button and turning the handle; the needle on the receiver’s dial would swing around to point to that letter. However, a dispute between the two inventors kept this version of the telegraph from being commercialized. Only after the 1840 patent had expired did Wheatstone return to the dial telegraph, eventually patenting several improvements.

Meanwhile, the French had been using an optical telegraph system that Claude Chappe developed during the French Revolution. It relied on semaphore signals transmitted along a line of towers. By 1839, Alphonse Foy was in charge of over 1,000 optical-telegraph operators, but he saw the need to investigate the growing development of electric telegraphs. He sent Louis-François Breguet to England to study Cooke and Wheatstone’s needle telegraph. The first result was the Foy-Breguet telegraph, which used two needles that mimicked semaphore signals.

Watch and Learn: French watchmaker Louis-François Breguet studied designs for the needle telegraph before devising his own dial telegraph.

Breguet was manager of his family’s watchmaking company, Breguet & Fils, and not long after, he developed a dial telegraph that had both the appearance and the working mechanism of a clock [receiver shown at top]. When activated by an electric current from the sender, a spring connected by gears rotated the needle around the dial; an escapement—the toothed-wheel mechanism that in a clock moves the hands forward—kept the needle in place in the absence of a signal.

Breguet divided the face into 26 slots, with an inner ring of numbers and an outer ring of letters. The starting position was at the top, noted by a cross, leaving room for 25 letters. At the end of each word, the needle would return to the starting position. Some versions omitted the letter W; others omitted the letter J.

After French railroads adopted the Breguet telegraph and made it standard equipment, it became known as the French railway telegraph; it remained in use until the end of the century. Breguet’s system was also exported to Japan, connecting Tokyo and Yokohama as well as Osaka and Kobe. A new face for the telegraph incorporated Japanese katakana characters.

Of course, even Breguet’s dial telegraph was limited in the range of characters it could transmit. Operators of the needle and dial telegraphs had to somehow deal with missing letters—perhaps they just made their best guess based on context, or perhaps companies devised their own codes for specific letters or symbols. Louis-François Breguet couldn’t properly transmit the cedilla in his own name, but maybe he accepted it as a limitation of the technology.

As it happens, as early as the 1840s, Friedrich Clemens Gerke, the telegraph inspector for the Hamburg-Cuxhaven line in Germany, was noting similar shortcomings with Morse code. The code, developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the United States, was fine for the unaccented English alphabet. To accommodate European languages, Gerke added accented letters; he also significantly revised the patterns of dots and dashes for letters and numbers, making the entire code more efficient to transmit. His version, which became known as Continental Morse Code, spread throughout Europe.

Despite the expanded code’s popularity, the International Telegraphic Union took many years to embrace it. In his 2017 book The Chinese Typewriter: A History, Thomas Mullaney describes the slow, conservative evolution of Morse code. In 1865, the ITU settled on a set of standardized symbols that were decidedly Anglocentric. Three years later, it confirmed the standard codes for the 26 letters of the English alphabet, the numerals 0 to 9, plus 16 special characters—mostly punctuation, plus the e-acute, É. In 1875, the ITU elevated É to a standard character and added six more accented letters as special characters: Á, Å, Ä, Ñ, Ö, Ü. It wasn’t until 1903 that the ITU accepted these supplemental characters as standard. Languages based on nonalphabetic characters, such as Chinese, were never incorporated, although some countries adopted their own telegraphic codes. Thus did the technology of telegraphy connect and also divide the world in new and unexpected ways.

The Breguet telegraph receiver that touched off my inquiries is on display at the Museum of the School of Telecommunication Systems Engineering at the Technical University of Madrid. The museum was started in the 1970s by a small group of professors, who scoured antique shops and flea markets to collect artifacts representing the history of communications. Rather than confining its objects to a dedicated space, the museum maintains exhibit cases in hallways throughout the school, where students, visitors, and others can stumble upon them every day.

I wonder if those who see the Breguet dial telegraph draw connections to modern technology. The set of characters on computer keyboards, for example, vary from place to place and language to language. I remember attending a student conference in Istanbul in 1998 and being unable to access my email. I didn’t realize that Turkish keyboards have both a dotless and a dotted i key, and so I kept hitting the wrong one. A few months later I met students in Hamburg who were using American keyboards to do their computer programming. They’d discovered that German keyboards of the era required three keystrokes to make a semicolon, which slowed down their coding.

Such tales are good reminders of the persistence and the fluidity of language, which adapts to new technologies just as new technologies are molded by their users.

An abridged version of this article appears in the September 2018 print issue as “The ABCs of Telegraphy.”
