Bell's interest in producing the vocal sounds arises reasonably because his father is an
expert in vocal physiology, improving speech and teaching deaf people. Bell had been
to Boston, Massachusetts state in 1871. It was there that in 1875 he made experiments
that led to the invention of the telephone.
He collected a patent to confirm his discovery in February 1876 and was rewarded a
few weeks later. (It is interesting to note that another man named Elisha Gray also
collected a patent of invention for the strengthening of similar equipment on the same
day as what Bell did, only a few hours apart).
