Good morning and Happy Tuesday everyone.
The invention of the modern telephone - and who exactly got the credit - came down to the wire in early 1876. The lawyers for Alexander Graham Bell and another inventor by the name of Elisha Gray both filed patents on the morning of February 14, 1876. According to research years later, Bell was the fifth entry of the day, and Gray the 39th, thus Bell was awarded the patent
In any case, on March 7, 1876, the US Patent Office issued Bell with the telephone patent and the rest is history
