Bell, Alexander Graham (1847–1922)


Alexander Graham Bell
Scottish-born American scientist and educator who invented the telephone (1876), founded the Bell Telephone Company (1877), and devised the wax-cylinder phonograph. In later life he helped perfect the aileron for airplanes.

Bell first worked with his father, the inventor of a system for educating the deaf. The family moved to Canada in 1870, and Bell taught speech at Boston University (1873–77).
