About this Item

A collection of codeworks for use in telegrams, compiled by Benjamin Franklin Lieber. 'Lieber's Standard Telegraphic Code' is a simplified and condensed list of codewords used for telegrams. Lists of codeworks were often compiled from the 1870s to the 1950s as telegrams charged per word. The codewords were created to be able to send longer messages for a lower cost.
