Inventor Of The Telephone

Antonio Santi Giuseppe Meucci (April 13, 1808–October 18, 1896) was an Italian inventor. He developed some form of voice communication apparatus in 1857. The Enciclopedia Italiana di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti calls him the "inventore del telefono" (inventor of the telephone).[1] A 2002 U.S. House of Representatives resolution, HR 269, stated that Meucci "set up a rudimentary communication link in his Staten Island home that connected the basement with the first floor... he demonstrated his invention in 1860 and had a description of it published in New York ’s Italian language newspaper.... and was unable to raise sufficient funds to pay his way through the patent application...". In 1876, Bell patented the electro-magnetic transmission of vocal sound by undulatory electric current. Bell committed Fraud on the U.S. Patent Office by using Mr. Meucci’s materials and prototypes.
