Notes
If the duration of a dot is taken to be one unit then that of a dash is three units. The space between the components of one character is one unit, between characters is three units and between words seven units. To indicate that a mistake has been made and for the receiver to delete the last word, send ........ (eight dots).
The prosigns are combinations of two letters sent together with no space in between. The other abbreviations are sent with the normal spacing.
