SUMMARY:'150 Years of the Telephone'
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: United States patents (in public domain) \nJoining us IN PERSON – just turn up\, there’s no need to register \nThis is a joint event with Thinktank\, Birmingham Science Museum \nOn 10 March 1876\, 150 years ago\, Alexander Graham Bell made what is usually considered to be the first telephone call\, when he spoke the words “Mr. Watson—Come here—I want to see you” into his experimental apparatus.\n \nTo mark this anniversary\, Newcomen Midlands\, in a change to the usual format of our meetings\, will be showing two videos produced by the Connections Musem in Seattle\, USA\, that describe how Bell submitted his patent\, and how his first transmitter (microphone) and receiver (earpiece) worked.  \nThe films show the museum’s attempts to make a working replica of his original apparatus.
