TIL that just like how the “morse code” operators of the electronic era eschewed unreliable mechanical code senders for instead tapping codes out by hand and receiving by ear, a good gravitic telegraph operator can just jiggle the singularity (using a Gravitong of course, freehand jigglers eventually run out of fingers!). The two pulses that start every gravitaph are said to originate from operators testing their gravitongs.
