INVENTIONS

                At the age of 29, Alexander Graham Bell invented his telephone in 1876 and in 1877, he formed the Bell Telephone Company, and in the same year married Mabel Hubbard.

      Alexander Graham Bell might easily have been satisfied with the success of his telephone invention. His many laboratory notebooks show, however, that he was driven by a genuine and rare intellectual curiosity that kept him regularly searching, striving, and wanting always to learn and to create. He would continue to test out new ideas through a long and productive life. He would explore the area of communications as well as keep in a great variety of scientific activities involving kites, airplanes, tetrahedral structures, sheep-breeding, artificial respiration, desalinization and water distillation, and hydrofoils.
