Alexander Graham Bell Autograph Sold at Auction

Alexander Graham Bell had been an inventive thinker and problem solver since childhood, as would be imagined. An childhood invention of his was a contraption to help farmers remove the husk from wheat. His most famous invention, the telephone, was devised while investors also had him work on perfecting the harmonic telegraph, a device that could send multiple telegraphs simultaneously using channels or frequencies. Bell received the telephone patent in 1876, but after managing the Bell Telephone Company for a few years, decided to pursue new inventions. Bell established the Volta Laboratory in 1880 to experiment with technologies to help the hearing impaired. Other inventions of Alexander Graham Bell include the graphophone and predecessor to the metal detector.
