Originally before we were able to send voice massages by telephone or radio messages were sent through wire using code made up of combination of long beeps and short beeps that were known as Morse Code. sending a message in this way was known as sending a telegram over the telegraph system.

A device or system that uses electric signals to transmit messages by a code or over a wire.

A telegrapher is a person who operates a telegraph. Think of the Western or other movies you've seen where a person, usually a man, is operating a key with one hand that is sending Morse code signals to another town. Telegraph service is no longer available in the US.
