Electric Speech Machine

The Inventor of Electric Speech Machine

Alexander Graham Bell is most well known for inventing the telephone. He came
to the U.S as a teacher of the deaf, and conceived the idea of "electronic speech"
while visiting his hearing-impaired mother in Canada. This led him to invent the
microphone and later the "electrical speech machine" -- his name for the first
telephone.
How long calls last on the phone
Alexander Graham Bell makes the world's first long-distance telephone call,
one-way, not reciprocal, over a distance of about 6 miles, between Brantford
and Paris, Ontario, Canada. 1876: Hungarian Tivadar Puskás invents the
telephone switchboard exchange (later working with Edison).
How the Telephone works

Alexander Graham Bell's original telephone, patented in 1876, worked by

converting sound into an electrical signal via a 'liquid transmitter'. ... This
created a varying strength electric signal that travelled down a wire to a
receiver, where through a reversed process, the sounds were re-created.
