There are number of early telephone pioneers who helped contribute technological advances to the field which culminated in Bell and Watson’s invention of the telephone in the later portion of the 1800s. By the end of the 19 th Century, the telephone would find commercial success and has significantly evolved over the past century +. Although Bell ultimately prevailed in the early signs of patent wars to come in the tech industry, there are a number of inventors who helped contributed technological and conceptual advancements that furthered telephone technology in this same timeframe. It runs Saturdays and Sundays, July 14-15, 21-22, 28-29, and August 4-5 from 12pm-7pm.The invention of the telephone is credited to American Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson in the mid-to-late 19 th Century. Telettrofono is the fourth project of stillspotting nyc, a two-year multidisciplinary project that takes the Guggenheim’s Architecture and Urban Studies programming out into the city’s five boroughs. Audience members listen to this story through a modern-day “telettrofono” – an iPod – while wandering in the footsteps of a little known pioneer to the coast of New York's most underappreciated borough. This soundscape is accompanied by a poetic and fantastical interpretation of Meucci’s life, in which his wife Esterre is imagined as a mermaid in pursuit of the island's sounds. In "Telettrofono," Harvey and sound artist Justin Bennett capture Meucci's fascinating, tragic life through an audio piece that blends ambient sounds from Staten Island with invented noises such as a piano of stone and glass and a bone-xylophone. Through Bell’s experiments with a phonautograph, he did create his own system for transmitting sound waves, and, unlike Meucci, was able to fund and patent his discoveries thanks to financial support from wealthy patrons. Meucci’s former Staten Island home is now a museumĭespite the Resolution, he remains relatively unknown, and Bell is credited with the invention.
In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell filed his patent for “the method of, and apparatus for, transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically… by causing electrical undulations, similar in form to the vibrations of the air accompanying the said vocal or other sound”.
And when time came to renew the caveat two years later, he didn't. But he didn't make any mention of the machine's telephonic properties. In 1871, he filed his claim for a “Sound Telegraph” with the US Patent Office. He wanted to buy a patent, but could only afford a caveat, an official notice of intention to file a patent application at a later date. When he approached people about his invention, they either laughed at him or conveniently “lost” his models. However inventive he was, Meucci wasn't lucky. He also invented a filter for tea and coffee, a process for canning Italian meat sauce, and a plastic paste that could be used for making billiard balls, among other things. All the while, he worked on numerous other projects, including opening the first lager beer factory and the first paraffin candle factory.
Between 19, Meucci purportedly developed over thirty different types of telephones, including a marine telephone that allowed a diver to communicate with the mothership while underwater. In 1856 he installed a telephone-like device in his Staten Island home in order to communicate with his wife, who was ill and bedridden at the time, while he worked in his basement laboratory. Meucci would use this discovery to create numerous early versions of the telephone.
