I think Jerry is talking about the representation of the practical Morse 
code using a binary system. This, I think, is the same as representing the 
decimal system as BCD. In thinking about symbolic representation it is, 
perhaps, important to seperate the representational system from its 
medium. The timing of Morse comes in its practical implementation not in 
the representational system per-se.
