On March 7, 1876, the U.S. Patent Office issued to a young inventor
named Alexander Graham Bell what is arguably the most valuable
patent ever: entitled "improvements in telegraphy," in truth it
secured for Bell the basic principles involved in a telephone. On
the same day that Bell filed his patent application, a caveat (a
preliminary patent document) was filed by Elisha Gray. This
coincidence sparked the first of many debates over whether Bell was
the true inventor of the telephone. In the early 1860s Johann
Phillipp Reis developed a version of the instrument, but his claims
against Bell were hampered by the bungling of his lawyers in
demonstrating his instrument in court. This work is a first look at
the many men who developed the telephone and an examination of
their claims against Bell's patent. A lay description of the phone
is also provided, as well as a history of the development of the
telephone system.
