Introduction In our days we run along an “information superhighway” with sophisticated utensils which are far away of the first telephone. Such communication devices like computers, mobile telephones, pagers, caller ID, call waiting, numbers like 112, are now taken for granted. Modern electronic devices are continuously changing, continuously evolving, making the old plug and jack switchboards look like they belong to the Stone Age. We accept all of these things and we are even capable to accept Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of the Telephone [1]. 2. Description and operating principle The simplest functional telephone should be constructed in the following way inside. It only contains three simple parts: - a switch for connecting and disconnecting the telephone from the system, this switch is usually named a hook switch. It connects when you lift the handset. - a speaker - is generally a little 50-cent, 8-ohm speaker of some sort. - a microphone - in the past, telephone microphones have been as simple as carbon granules compressed between two thin metal plates. Sound waves from your voice compress and decompress the granules, changing the resistance of the granules and modulating the current flowing through the microphone (Fig. 1)[2]. Fig. 1 The components of the telephone One can dial this simple phone by rapidly tapping the hook switch - all telephone switches still recognize "pulse dialing." If you pick the phone up and rapidly tap the switch hook four times, the phone company's switch will understand that you have dialed a "4." A "real" telephone Most people find that annoying, so any "real" phone contains a device called a duplex coil or something functionally equivalent to block the sound of your own voice from reaching your ear. 3 Teris Alexandra IEC 4521 A modern telephone also includes a bell so it can ring and a touch-tone keypad and frequency generator. A "real" phone looks like this (Fig.2)[3]. Fig.2 A more modern telephone Still the more modern telephone is pretty simple. In this kind of a device there is an electronic microphone, amplifier and circuit to replace the carbon granules and loading coil. The mechanical bell is often replaced by a speaker and a circuit to generate a pleasant ringing tone[3]. 3. History of the device On March 10, 1876, in Boston, Massachusetts, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. (Fig.3) Fig.3 Graham Bell’s Transmitter and Receiver Thomas Watson made the design of the device itself; an object made of a wooden stand, a funnel, a cup of acid and some copper wires. But these simple elements were the ones which led to the simple first phone call: “Mr. Watson, come here, I want you!” [4]. 4 Teris Alexandra IEC 4521 An interesting fact is that Bell filed thee application with just a few hours before his competitor Elisha Gray filed an application to patent a telephone himself. In spite of these facts, it wasn’t easy for the weak young telephone to make itself heard in the noisy workshop. Not even Bell and Watson were not used to the weird voice that was heard through the handset. Usually, it was Watson which had a very good sense of hearing would have done the listening and Bell would have done the talking. In time, the tone of the little device became more clearly. At Bell’s 29’th anniversary he received the patent No. 174465 “the most valuable simple patent ever issued” in any country. He had created something so new that there wasn’t even a name for it in no other language. Even Bell, describing the device to the Officials of the Patent Office, was obliged to name it “an improvement in telegraphy” when in fact was nothing alike. The story of the telephone is actually the story of its invention. Bell managed to create the device because he understood acoustics, he understood sound and studied a little bit about electricity. The discovery of the telephone was not easy and it was the result of a persistent search [5]. 3.1 Evolution of the device • 1844 — Innocenzo Manzetti first mooted the idea of a “speaking telegraph” or telephone. Use of the 'speaking telegraph' and 'sound telegraph' monikers would eventually be replaced by the newer, distinct name, 'telephone'. • 26 August 1854 — Charles Bourseul published an article in the magazine L'Illustration (Paris): "Transmission électrique de la parole" (electric transmission of speech), describing a 'make-and-break' type telephone transmitter later created by Johann Reis. • 26 October 1861 — Johann Philipp Reis (1834–1874) publicly demonstrated the Reis telephone before the Physical Society of Frankfurt. • 22 August 1865, La Feuille d'Aoste reported “It is rumored that English technicians to whom Mr. Manzetti illustrated his method for transmitting spoken words on the telegraph wire intend to apply said invention in England on several private telegraph lines". However telephones would not be demonstrated there until 1876, with a set of telephones from Bell. • 28 December 1871 — Antonio Meucci files patent caveat No. 3335 in the U.S. Patent Office titled "Sound Telegraph", describing communication of voice between two people by wire. A 'patent caveat' was not an invention patent award, but only an unverified notice filed by an individual that he or she intends to file a regular patent application in the future. • 1874 — Meucci, after having renewed the caveat for two years does not renew it again, and the caveat lapses. • 6 April 1875 — Bell's U.S. Patent 161,739 "Transmitters and Receivers for Electric Telegraphs" is granted. This uses multiple vibrating steel reeds in make-break circuits. • 11 February 1876 — Gray invents a liquid transmitter for use with a telephone but does not build one. • 14 February 1876 — Elisha Gray files a patent caveat for transmitting the human voice through a telegraphic circuit. 5 Teris Alexandra IEC 4521 • 14 February 1876 — Alexander Bell applies for the patent "Improvements in Telegraphy", for electromagnetic telephones using what is now called amplitude modulation (oscillating current and voltage) but which he referred to as "undulating current". • 19 February 1876 — Gray is notified by the U.S. Patent Office of an interference between his caveat and Bell's patent application. Gray decides to abandon his caveat. • 7 March 1876 — Bell's U.S. patent 174,465 "Improvement in Telegraphy" is granted, 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." • 10 March 1876 — The first successful telephone transmission of clear speech using a liquid transmitter when Bell spoke into his device, “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you.” and Watson heard each word distinctly. • 30 January 1877 — Bell's U.S. patent 186,787 is granted for an electromagnetic telephone using permanent magnets, iron diaphragms, and a call bell. • 27 April 1877 — Edison files for a patent on a carbon (graphite) transmitter. The patent 474,230 was granted 3 May 1892, after a 15 year delay because of litigation. Edison was granted patent 222,390 for a carbon granules transmitter in 1879 [6]. • 20 February 1984 — The telephone became portable, when the American Donald M. Mitchell requested the release of a patent for his cell phone: “Portable radio for transmission and reception”. The device transmitted using short waves, had a limited range and weighed 2.5 Kg. There have passed 35 more years until cell phones began to be widely used by ordinary people [7]. Fig. 4 Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, one of the first mobile phones that operates in analogue system 3.2 The telephone in Romania 6 Teris Alexandra IEC 4521 • 1882 – Appeared the first telephone in Romania, in Bucharest and they were Siemens telephones. • 1884 – In Bucharest took place the first telephonic communication. • 1889 – In Bucharest was installed the first station with 5 receivers; the line was installed between the parliament and the main ministers. • 1890 – Private telephones began to be installed and until 1893 there were about 300 telephonic receivers • 1906 – Augustin Maior manages to transmit simultaneously, on a single telephone line of 15 km, 5 calls without their signals interfering [8]. 4.

  • Telephone Talking to Your Neighbor Hasn’T Always Been As Easy As Picking up the Receiver
    INVENTIONS The Telephone Talking to your neighbor hasn’t always been as easy as picking up the receiver BY CATHERINE V.O. HOFFBERGER “Mr. Watson, come in here. I need you!” These historic words are as recognizable as Martin Luther King Jr.’s inspiring “I Have a Dream” and John F. Kennedy’s philosophical “Ask not what your country can do for you— ask what you can do for your country.” Uttered by one Alexander Graham Bell on March 7, 1876, this quote is remem- bered not for its eloquence or effect, but for what it represents: the invention of that great tool of everyday life, the Telephone. Bell, born in Scotland to a deaf mother in 1847, followed the professional footsteps of his father, uncle and grandfa- ther, all professors of elocution (the study of speaking). Young “Aleck,” a passionate elocutionist, specialized in teaching speech to the deaf. Telephony, the science of producing sound (‘phono’) electrically over distance (‘tele’), was the rage among Three weeks later, Mr. Watson famously heard Bell sum- 19th-century inventors.

As his was the first telephone in 1833 and soon improved by American Samuel Morse, to truly work and receive a patent, Bell was credited with accomplished that in staccato, on-and-off rhythms.

  • 5. on Being First
    5. On Being First The postage stamp is a unique kind of sign, with an impressive capacity to convey a number of messages in a very confined space (Child, 2008). In the previous chapter I have been able to review the use of stamps to deliver political messages. In this chapter, I look at how the representation of scientists on stamps has developed over time and investigate examples of stamps being used as the vehicle to substantiate ‘firsts’ in science. On being first Robert Merton’s “Priorities in Scientific Discovery” (1957) discusses the way that science is structured, noting the importance attached to the date of a discovery and the world’s acknowledgement of the achievement. Disputes are commonplace regarding such recognition, and Merton states that it is more likely that the case will be argued by the institution than the scientist. The scientist will often accept that science is a developing understanding of the world and that many research projects are conducted in parallel. The establishment, here in the form of postal authorities, in some cases as an agency of government, enters the fray of controversy in the very public arena of stamp issue. Merton’s comments on being first are reiterated by Collins and Pinch: Moreover, the mass media may be used by scientists as platforms to assure their priority in discovery – a well known phenomenon in the sociology of science (Collins and Pinch, 1998, p. 142). Within the context of this study, I anticipate that it is a national institution, the postal authority, representing the aims and ambitions of the state, that chooses to honour specific scientists.

  • Media Technology and Society
    MEDIA TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY Media Technology and Society offers a comprehensive account of the history of communications technologies, from the telegraph to the Internet. Winston argues that the development of new media, from the telephone to computers, satellite, camcorders and CD-ROM, is the product of a constant play-off between social necessity and suppression: the unwritten ‘law’ by which new technologies are introduced into society. Winston’s fascinating account challenges the concept of a ‘revolution’ in communications technology by highlighting the long histories of such developments. The fax was introduced in 1847. The idea of television was patented in 1884. Digitalisation was demonstrated in 1938. Even the concept of the ‘web’ dates back to 1945. Winston examines why some prototypes are abandoned, and why many ‘inventions’ are created simultaneously by innovators unaware of each other’s existence, and shows how new industries develop around these inventions, providing media products for a mass audience. Challenging the popular myth of a present-day ‘Information Revolution’, Media Technology and Society is essential reading for anyone interested in the social impact of technological change. Brian Winston is Head of the School of Communication, Design and Media at the University of Westminster. He has been Dean of the College of Communications at the Pennsylvania State University, Chair of Cinema Studies at New York University and Founding Research Director of the Glasgow University Media Group. His books include Claiming the Real (1995). As a television professional, he has worked on World in Action and has an Emmy for documentary script-writing.
