In 1870 Émile Baudot created a code for telegraphy that used bits in place of dot and dashes. That allowed more words per minute to be transmitted than was possible with morse code.
With Baudot code machines could be built that would automatically decode the signal and type it out as plain english. This technology would be called the teletype machine.
Teletype machines still used this code or variation until they were replaced over a century later.
This is also where the term Baud rate comes from.
Haha damn. Good eye. Even proofread it twice. 😑
This sentence doesn't make sense either:
It starts off sounding like you're going to say, "With Baudot code machines [you can do anything, or whatever]" but then you say "could".
Is there supposed to be a comma after Baudot?
"With Baudot, code machines could be built..."
Even then, it doesn't make sense to say "With Baudot" by itself because that means with the man himself instead of with his system. So, do you mean, "With Baudot's encoding system, code machines could be built..."? That would make sense.
On the one the hand, if the name of Baudot's encoding system itself is "Baudot", then you need to establish that before you use it in that way because the rest of the text is talking about the man when using his name.
