What Event Occured Upon The Invention Of The Telephone?

Question

if an event actually occured on the date of the invention of the telephone, what was it? i must know!

Answer 1

After spilling battery acid on himself, on March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell called out, “Watson come here I want you.” This is the famous event that for a long time was selected as the point when the telephone was invented. In 1875 Bell created the telephone; he filled for a patent on March 7 1876, but he had a problem. Antonio Meucci had beaten him to the punch in 1871.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Meucci
“Antonio Santi Giuseppe Meucci (April 13, 1808–October 18, 1896) was an Italian inventor. He developed some form of voice communication apparatus in 1857. The Enciclopedia Italiana di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti calls him the "inventore del telefono" (inventor of the telephone).[1] A 2002 U.S. House of Representatives resolution, HR 269, stated that Meucci "set up a rudimentary communication link in his Staten Island home that connected the basement with the first floor... he demonstrated his invention in 1860 and had a description of it published in New York ’s Italian language newspaper.... and was unable to raise sufficient funds to pay his way through the patent application...". In 1876, Bell patented the electro-magnetic transmission of vocal sound by undulatory electric current.”

According to Wikipedia:
“1 July 1875 Bell uses a bi-directional "gallows" telephone that was able to transmit "indistinct but voicelike sounds" but not clear speech. Both the transmitter and the receiver were identical membrane electromagnet instruments.
14 February 1876 (about 11:30am) Bell's lawyer brings to the Patent Office Bell's patent application for the telephone. Bell's lawyer requested that it be registered immediately in the cash blotter.
7 March 1876 Bell's US patent 174,465 for the telephone is granted.
10 March 1876 Bell transmits speech "Mr. Watson, come here, I want you." using a liquid transmitter and an electromagnetic receiver.“

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Bell
“At Boston University he continued his research in the same field, and endeavored to produce a telephone which would not only send musical notes, but articulate speech. With financing from his American father-in-law, on March 7, 1876, the U.S. Patent Office granted him Patent Number 174,465 covering "the method of, and apparatus for, transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically … by causing electrical undulations, similar in form to the vibrations of the air accompanying the said vocal or other sound", the telephone.......
However, it has been recognized (such as by the U.S. Congress in 2002) that Antonio Meucci was the first to invent the telephone in 1871. Bell invented his own telephone in 1875 after discovering that a receiver could also be a transmitter. Some claim he went to the patent office and bribed the officials there to destroy the records of Meucci's inventor-of-the-telephone status (Meucci was too poor to secure a patent).[citation needed] In any case Bell then secured his own patent in 1876, just hours before Elisha Gray visited the patent office for his own work on the telephone. Meucci was understandably furious, and took Bell to court. However, he was too poor to hire a legal team, and in declining health, he died before the end of the court case. To Bell's credit, he successfully fought off several lawsuits, refined the telephone, and developed it into one of the most successful products. The Bell Telephone Company was created in 1877, and by 1886 over 150,000 people in the U.S. owned telephones and Bell became a millionaire”

Since Meucci didn’t have the money to file for a patent the credit goes to Bell. Bell defended several lawsuits and held the credit for a long time. He also continued to invent things and held 6 patents. His invention of the photophone allowed the invention of fiber optic communication a centruy later, because he proved that a telephone transmission can be carried and received over a beam of light. He also established the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

The unit of sound is called the Bell. We hear of it as the decibell, which is one tenth of a bell, because a bell turned out to be a very large unit of sound.

Mr. Tasty - you beat me by 1 second. LOL Great minds think alike.

Answer 3

The telemarketer was invented.
