Morse Code And Keypunch Tape On Stamps

Early teleprinter, issued by Mongolia in 1932 as one in the set "Mongolian Revolution":

Hughes telegraph, the first telegraph printing text on a paper tape, designed and engraved by Gilbert Aufschneider and issued by Upper Volta (Burkina Faso) on May 17, 1965 to commemorate centenary of the ITU:

Hi Rod,
I googled and used my dictionary for a few times;
L'estrange Ewen and pie on ear...
I have tried the Australian Pioneer Communication code, but no success either - the first line code is an invention by the stamp designer??

Bobby De La Rue - beautiful material with the Queen Vitoria's head on the corner. Really shows how wide the Philately territory could be!

Hi Eli - you have found more already.. and I learnt about Hughes telegraph, an elegant machine!

Hungary
30 June 1958 / Organization of Socialist Countries' Postal Administrations Conference, Prague / design: Z. Nagy



Let's try!
top line: E T T E Q S 2 G - ??
middle: N E E N A B X - ???
bottom: T E 2 2 R T - ????
I put these into translator, but no clue. Stamp designers don't always refer the Morse code but use them as graphic element?
Still, I love this modest mono-colour design - 3D effect on the pole, very cute insulators, concentric circles and an airplane flying above Prague.

I was very wrong! There are more code for punctuation and pro-signs, and the first line of the Australian tape is "New Page Signal"..

Attaching 3 more sheets of code here for later re-try of the rest.

Thank you Rod, that's great information!

I have the cutouts with the specimen overprints and have seen them used as postage on cover(s).

I'll see if I can find any images.

Hi Tomoko,
Here is the catalogue (48Mb)
It is searchable, just search "telegraph"

Wow Thanks, that's a first!

The other stamps in that set, show parts of the designer's family as Pioneers.

Here we are, addressed to a philatelist if my memory serves.

Hi Bobby,
Wow! superb!
I sense some very high values there.

I could not find any J COLE (Oxford Street) as a stamp seller

Hi Rod,
Thank you for the link for the 1898 catalogue! - I meant that I just leant about L'estrange Ewen - but thanks anyway, for other people to refer, too.
