The telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell won the race to patent his invention, and therefore, won the name for the discovery of a device which transmitted speech. Luckily, his would-be father-in-law got him the financial aid that was required for him to do his experiments on a device he thought would transfer speech over the wire. While showing that he was working on a multiple telegraph system he was assisted by Thomas Watson and backed by Joseph Henry whose inspiring words did the trick on the tenth day of March in 1876.
Although Elisha Grey ran for her patent of a telephone yet it was Bell’s good fortune that made him take the honour of inventing a telephone. Alexander made clear that different value of current will produce different frequencies of sound and that will be transmitted over this device via wire. In the year 1915, the first ever long-distance telephone call was made by A.G. Bell in New York City and on the other end was Thomas Augustus Watson, his former assistant who was in California.
