On 10th March 1876, was when Bell realized their success and the communication potential of the new device. And through their experiments that proved, that various music tones would differ the strength of the electric current in wire made them realized in June 1875, that their goal of creating a device that was capable of transmitting human speech electrically was nearby. Joseph Henry listened to both of their ideas and encouraged them for their work. Meanwhile, as they were continuing their work on the harmonic telegraph they happen to come across a man named Joseph Henry who was the director of Smithsonian Institution. But till then, Bell and his companion Thomas Watson was strike with the idea of inventing a device that was well worse to transmit human voice electrically. Where his future father in law helped him with the financial backup in order to help him progress in the work of multiple telegraphs. In the year 1874, Bell’s experiment has progressed enough to be disclosed to his family members about the existing possibility of multiple telegraphs. And Bell came up with his own idea of “Harmonic Telegraph” which was backed by the principal of musical notes that can be sent continuously to the same wire that differed in pitch.

As Bell had a good understanding of sound and music, he wanted to overcome this limitation. Thus, continuous efforts made by Alexander Graham Bell to improve the telegraph had led to the success of the telephone.īefore, The telephone was invented the telegraph was the known medium for communication for almost 30 years, the only limitation with the telegraph was it limited to send and receive one message at a time with the use of Morse code. The concept of telegraph and telephone were similar in nature. Two well-known inventors were working over the invention of Telephone in the 1870s, it was a legal battle over the invention between Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell, which was won by the later. His passion for his work and intellectual helped him to get an edge over the other scientist working in the same domain, and in his young age of 29 years (1876), he had invented the telephone and patented it. History of Telephone :Īlexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland on 3rd March 1847, belonging to a decent educational background and his knowledge towards sound and acoustics helped in the development of the telephone. And launched the Bell Telephone company in the year 1877 and had more than 18 patents for his work in communication and invention. Alexander Graham Bell is the first person who’s interested in sound technology led him to the invention of Telephone. Further, he was instrumental in bringing Montessori education to America, was involved in early civil rights efforts, and did seminal work in deaf education (he was responsible for Helen Keller meeting her teacher Annie Sullivan)." "Created with unprecedented access to private materials - one of the coauthors is Bell's great-grandson - Alexander Graham Bell reveals the inventor as a man of warmth and human frailty, loved by his wife, children, and grandchildren.One of the finest inventions in the past, which has greatly impacted our present and future and has connected people across border and nations. Bell helped found the National Geographic Society and its distinguished magazine. In addition, Bell and his associates conducted 1,200 pioneering experiments in aviation, achieving the first public airplane flight in the United States. Working in the United States and Canada, he devised the first practical phonograph, the metal detector, the hydrofoil, and the respirator. Hundreds of rare and previously unpublished images reveal early phone history, turn-of-the-century America, and the remarkable Bell family." "At the center of this book is Alexander Graham Bell himself, whose remarkably fertile imagination spawned a raft of inventions most of us have never associated with his name. Summary: "This volume is the first fully illustrated book about Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) and the early years of the telephone - an invention that transformed the culture, social fabric, and economy of the United States and, eventually, the world.
