The Baudot code was used asychronously with start and stop bits: the asynchronous code design was intimately linked with the electro-mechanical design of the first teleprinters.

The Baudot code was used asychronously with start and stop bits: the asynchronous code design was intimately linked with the start-stop electro-mechanical design of teleprinters. (Early systems had used synchronous codes, but were hard to synchronise mechanically).
