    Letter from Alexander Graham Bell to Alexander Melville Bell, February 26, 1880, with Transcript

    Library of Congress Letter from Alexander Graham Bell to Alexander Melville Bell, February 26, 1880, with transcript ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL TO HIS FATHER A. MELVILLE BELL 904 14th Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Feb. 26th, 1880. Dear Papa: I have just written to Mamma about Mabel's baby and I now write to you about my own! Only think! — Two babies in one week! The first born at 904 14th Street — on the fifteenth inst., the other at my laboratory on the nineteenth. Both strong vigorous healthy young things and both destined I trust to grow into something great in the future. Mabel's baby was light enough at birth but mine was LIGHT ITSELF! Mabel's baby screamed inarticulately but mine spoke with distinct enunciation from the first. I have heard articulate speech produced by sunlight! I have heard a ray of the sun laugh and cough and sing! The dream of the past year has become a reality — the “ Photophone ” is an accomplished fact. I am not prepared at present to go into particulars and can only say that with Mr. Tainter's assistance I have succeeded in preparing crystalline selenium of so low a resistance and so sensitive to light that we have been enabled to perceive variations of light as sounds in the telephone. In this way I have been able to hear a shadow, and I have even perceived by ear the passage of a cloud across the sun's disk. Can Imagination picture what the future of this invention is to be! I dream of so many important and wonderful applications that I cannot bring myself to make known my discovery — until I have demonstrated the practicability of some of these schemes.

    The Inventing Game Cut out the images. Cut out the name of the inventor separately. Read out the text as a clue. Can people match the correct name and image? THOMAS EDISON Clue The first great invention developed by (don’t say the name) Thomas Edison was the tin foil phonograph. A prolific producer, Edison is also known for his work with light bulbs, electricity, film and audio devices, and much more. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL Clue In 1876, at the age of 29, (don’t say the name) Alexander Graham Bell invented his telephone. Among one of his first innovations after the telephone was the "photophone," a device that enabled sound to be transmitted on a beam of light. GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER Clue (Don’t say the name) George Washington Carver was an agricultural chemist who invented 300 uses for peanuts and hundreds of more uses for soybeans, pecans, and sweet potatoes. His contributions chang ed the history of agriculture in the south. ELI WHITNEY Clue (Don’t say the name) Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in 1794. The cotton gin is a machine that separates seeds, hulls, and other unwanted materials from cotton after it has been picked. JOHANNES GUTTENBERG Clue (don’t say the name) Johannes Gutenberg was a German goldsmith and inventor best known for the Gutenberg press, an innovative printing machine that used movable type. JOHN LOGIE BAIRD Clue (don’t say the name) John Logie Baird is remembered as the inventor of mechanical television (an earlier version of television).

    Alexander Graham Bell 1847-1922

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XXIII FIRST MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL 1847-1922 BY HAROLD S. OSBORNE PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1943 It was the intention that this Biographical Memoir would be written jointly by the present author and the late Dr. Bancroft Gherardi. The scope of the memoir and plan of work were laid out in cooperation with him, but Dr. Gherardi's untimely death prevented the proposed collaboration in writing the text. The author expresses his appreciation also of the help of members of the Bell family, particularly Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, and of Mr. R. T. Barrett and Mr. A. M. Dowling of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company staff. The courtesy of these gentlemen has included, in addition to other help, making available to the author historic documents relating to the life of Alexander Graham Bell in the files of the National Geographic Society and in the Historical Museum of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL 1847-1922 BY HAROLD S. OSBORNE Alexander Graham Bell—teacher, scientist, inventor, gentle- man—was one whose life was devoted to the benefit of mankind with unusual success. Known throughout the world as the inventor of the telephone, he made also other inventions and scientific discoveries of first importance, greatly advanced the methods and practices for teaching the deaf and came to be admired and loved throughout the world for his accuracy of thought and expression, his rigid code of honor, punctilious courtesy, and unfailing generosity in helping others.
  • Early Forms of Long-Distance Communication

    Early Forms of Long-Distance Communication

    EARLY FORMS OF LONG-DISTANCE COMMUNICATION In this material, you will learn about Telegraphy, Telephone and GSM architecture Before the development of the electric telegraph in the 19th century revolutionized how information was transmitted across long distances, ancient civilizations such as those in China, Egypt and Greece used drumbeats or smoke signals to exchange information between far-flung points. However, such methods were limited by the weather and the need for an uninterrupted line of sight between receptor points. These limitations also lessened the effectiveness of the semaphore, a modern precursor to the electric telegraph. Developed in the early 1790s, the semaphore consisted of a series of hilltop stations that each had large movable arms to signal letters and numbers and two telescopes with which to see the other stations. Like ancient smoke signals, the semaphore was susceptible to weather and other factors that hindered visibility. A different method of transmitting information was needed to make regular and reliable long-distance communication workable. Did You Know? SOS, the internationally recognized distress signal, does not stand for any particular words. Instead, the letters were chosen because they are easy to transmit in Morse code: "S" is three dots, and "O" is three dashes. The Electric Telegraph In the early 19th century, two developments in the field of electricity opened the door to the production of the electric telegraph. First, in 1800, the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827) invented the battery, which reliably stored an electric current and allowed the current to be used in a controlled environment. Second, in 1820, the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) demonstrated the connection between electricity and magnetism by deflecting a magnetic needle with an electric current.
