What's in a name?

The origin of the name Mark/Space is in the era of telegraph communications, railroads and morse code. Although most people think of morse code as an audio signal, it actually originated as a graphical method of communication: A pen was connected to an electromagnet and held over a moving piece of paper. When there was an electrical current present from the wires, the pen was held down against the paper to make a mark (long or short), and when the current stopped it was lifted, producing a space. Telegraph operators eventually got so good at morse code that they understood the messages without even reading the marks, and soon the pen and paper were removed entirely. To this day, though, the underlying protocol for telegraph is still mark and space.
