Bell was born in Scotland on March 3rd 1847, with his father as a professor, his two brothers dead and his mom being deaf, Bell lived a terrible child hood. He was enrolled at the Royal high school and attended the Edinburgh University where he developed the interest in science of acoustics. In 1887 when the Bell Telephone company began, Bell got married to Mabel Hubbard, the daughter of the Boston lawyer; she helps finance Bell's work.
In addition, Alexander Bell continued his interest in Canada and explored the theory of communication with electricity. Bell created a electrical multi-reed device that he hoped would transmit the human voice by telegraph asked Mr. Henry a famous scientist advice on how it was and he replied to him by saying he had “ the germ of a great invention” and greatly encourage Bell to continue what he was doing.
However, telegraphing message traffic was quickly expanding. Western Union President William Orton had contracted inventors Thomas Edison and Elisha Gray to find a way to send multiple telegraph messages.(Alexander Graham Bell) Alexander was working on a method of sending multiple tones on a telegraph wire using a multi-reed device, he told Hubbard and Sanders and they decided to patent and finance Bell model. Persuading this further, Alexander experimented with water transmitter, using an acid water mixture, when the vibration causing the needle to vibrate in the water it caused an electrical circuit, when Bell spoke into it you could clear receive the message on the opposite end and this was the creation of the telephone.
In this situation, the Italian Antonio Meucci, had already created the model of the telephone in 1834. Antonio Meucci took Bell to court but lost the case because he could not prove evidence of his inventions apart from reconstructing them during the trial and calling witnesses.
In brief, Bell wears the yellow and green hat because continued his many experiments in communication which culminated in the invention of the photo phone that transmits sound on a beam of light, but also worked in medical research and invented techniques for teaching the deaf. Alexander had many ideas that were later realised in inventions.
