Module I: The Telephone Invention

Review Resources for Telephone module. This link leads to the TCC 315 Resources Page which contains information on the Telephone module and on outside resources that may be useful for your project. Information specific to the Telephone Module can be found on the "Invention of the Telephone" home page.

Check the Exhibits page for information on rules (Exhibit 4) for the Telephone module project and also for background information on Gray's caveat, Bell's patents, and how such documents should be written (Exhibits 1, 2, & 6). Exhibit 5 gives an overview on how to build modern versions of early telegraphs which should prove useful for your prototypes. An overview of the assignments required for the Telephone module can be found on the Assignments page. One excellent resource that you may want to look at is a JAVA-based page developed by Mazen G. Baroudi and Daniel W. Mellen that demonstrates many of the key concepts used by Bell in his telephone invention. It is highly recommended for students who want a clearer understanding of the inner-workings of Bell's telephone. This is a work-in-progress page and comments are definitely welcome.
