The telephone was invented in Cuba


Written by Dr. Jose Agustin Antonio Meucci Reverón Orta who was born in Florence back in 1808 completed his studies in mechanical engineering. Travel to Cuba, Havana, and was hired to handle the intrigue of the Teatro Tacon. Arrives in Havana for the year 1835 along with his wife Esther. It has this character as a pioneer of electrical engineering in Cuba. He built the theater in high heel, a plating shop, recitals and the first who came to work in the Latin American continent.

He worked in electrotherapy treatments in patients friends in Havana. In one of these treatments, performed in the year 1849, preparing one of his patients, he says that Meucci heard an exclamation from a distance. He says it was from a room and that cry was for power transmission through a cable that connected the two rooms. In this regard Meucci stated: "From this time it was my imagination, and I recognized that I had obtained the transmission of human speech through a lead wire connected to several batteries to produce electricity, and immediately gave him the name of telegraph talking ".

In the year 1997 in the current Grand Theater of Havana, placed a plaque commemorating this fact is the invention of the telephone in 1949, not as we all know that it was made in the year 1876 by Graham Bell, who was credited with inventing the telephone.

Here we discover that there was in America that invented the telephone, but in Havana, unfortunately for the Americans.

This is another story that are hidden in the shade do not know why, because the truths always emerge, and the time never gets deleted them.

It invented the telephone, Meucci travels and arrives in New York, April 1, 1850, with the idea to develop and promote his invention.

He continued conducting experiments, the same of Havana, and the result was similar, the transmitted word is not very clear.

Keep up the experiments and uses an element of the electromagnetic type and transmission result was obtained where the word could be heard clear, safe to use microphones at birth. Equal interconnecting two devices through cables.

To attract potential investors in 1860 organized a performance with a singer whose voice was heard at a considerable distance, the news published in some newspapers in New York. And, in 1870 and could transmit the telephone signal to a "distance of about a mile." Meucci is still developing its system and discover that the insertion of coils improve signal transmission line, ie what we now call "pupinización" in honor of Michael Pupin Idvorsky that in 1899 "reinvented" the procedure.

As for politics, Antonio Meucci was no mere inventor, but an Italian sensitive to the vicissitudes they had to do with the struggle for independence and national unity that had been developing at that time in Italy. The figurehead of the struggle, was the great guerrilla Giuseppe Garibaldi, who lived for a time a refugee in New York, Meucci's house, working in his candle factory. As a result of an accident on a boat New Yorker, who nearly lost his life to this character, his wife sold to an "unknown vendor" for $ 6, all the research material, including the prototype phones and when improvement is claim and that character "buyer" never get it.

Take into account the date of this story and compare it with the date of the alleged invention of Graham Bell, the year 1876. Not it weird? Even in this Cuba beats the U.S.. Study and investigate and see what I say is true. It be that this "unknown vendor" was Bell?

I conclude that, first it was Cuba that the United States in this matter, although you do not believe it!.
