What happened after Bell spilled the acid?: Telecommunications history: a view through the literature

Author

Listed:
  • Solomon, Richard Jay

Abstract

The article is an extensive review of the literature covering the history of telecommunications, primarily the telephone and telegraph. Much of the history itself is discussed in the process, including the politics of inventions, monopolies and anti-trust pressures, and industry interaction with government. The ignorance of many authors on the actual workings of the telephone is decried, and many sources for gaining an understanding of the technology are indicated.
