The First Phone Call?
Published Jan 01, 1900
Alexander Graham Bell's laboratory. An exciting new discovery is about to take place. In the next room sits Bell's assistant, a man named Watson, hard at work on Bell's new invention to transmit sound over wires. As Mr. Watson toiled away in the room with the receiver, it suddenly rings -- it must be Bell! He picks it up and hears: "Good evening, sir. Are you paying too much for your long distance service?"
