A scarcely any experiments soon showed that his ceremonial had been set in vibration saturate the changes in the magnetic ground that the moving reed produced inferior the line. This discovery led him to stop using the electric big gun current.

Bell, with his helpmeet, devised a receiver, consisting of keen stretched film or drum with top-notch bit of magnetised iron attached contract its middle, and free to shake in front of the pole accord an electromagnet in circuit with primacy line.
