Ahoy! The Invention of the Telephone

 Alexander's Invention Ideas

  As Alexander Graham Bell grew older many things changed in his life. His father moved the family to London and his brother Edward died from tuberculosis. With all the change Alexander went back to teaching at  Weston House Academy only to go back to his father and become his apprentice. His father went to America and lectured there while Alexander took over his father's London operations. His father saw the better living condions in America and decided to move the family there after two of his sons dying from tuberculosis. Alexander did not want to move but eventually gave in and moved to Ontario,Canada with his family.
  Alexander then set up a workshop to study the human voice. His father was offered a job at Boston School for Deaf Mutes but could not take the job so Alexander graciously accepted the job. He combined his father's knowledge ith his own making him a remarkable teacher and success. The school could not afford to keep him on staff for another semester so Alexander, who fell in love with Boston, tutored deaf children from the local area.
  He shared one of his ideas of several telegraph transmissions could be sent on the same wire if they used different harmonic frequencies for each frequency. The father of a girl he tutored took great interest in his idea. He managed to acquire financial stability for his idea and spent very long days and nights trying to perfect the harmonic telegraph. His financial supporter Gardiner Hubbard, become very frustrated with Alexander when he became sidetracked by the idea of transmitting a voice over wires. Hubbard then hired an electrical assistant for Alexander in hope that he would refocus and perfect the invention. Thomas Watson, Alexander's new assisant became more enticed by the idea of transmitting a voice over wires then the invention he was suppose to help build. Alexander had the idea and Watson had the skills and together they would persue transmitting human voices over wires.
