Marconi International Code Book & Dictionary
1919
These amazing books are the bible that was
used by Marconi wireless operators worldwide. They contain
over 500 pages of 5-digit codes and their translations. The
Marconi code designed so that any two characters could be
transmitted improperly without resulting in confusion with
another code word. To further improve reliability, each
phrase of several code words was followed by a checksum - the
first use of checksums that I am aware of.
