Introduction. Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922), the Scottish-born American scientist best known as the inventor of the telephone, worked at a school for the deaf while attempting to invent a machine that would transmit sound by electricity.
Testing the Device. Bellâs assistant, Thomas Watson, was in a nearby room in Bellâs workshop, waiting to see if Bellâs device would work. Bell spoke these famous words into his device: âMr. Watson, come here. Watson heard the words clearly and distinctly, and thus, the first working model of a telephone was born. Although there were other inventors working on similar designs, including one whose patent application was almost on the same day as Bell submitted his, Bellâs invention was the first actual working telephonic device.
