Item Details

Description

The search for better ways of transmitting a person's voice led to the development of this model which used a platinum diaphragm for better long distance transmission. American Bell Telephone launched the American Telephone & Telegraph Company (AT&T) in 1885. It was clearly their goal to build long distance lines and develop a long distance company. This long distance transmitter, introduced in 1886 was their first long distance transmitter. Alexander Graham Bell and Theodore Vail, President of the American Bell Telephone Company, both used a telephone like this after its invention. This reproduction was manufactured by John Infurna with meticulous attention to detail. Only a few of these were made. Size 15" T.
