The Father of the telephone speaks

[dlevere]

By Jason Kottke

Alexander Graham Bell famously participated in the first telephone call, but until very recently, we had no idea how his voice sounded. Then researchers used high-resolution optical scans of old audio discs and cylinders and converted them to audio...and found a short passage recited by Bell:

If you can't quite catch it, Bell is saying "hear my voice, Alexander Graham Bell."

This is a humongous realization hearing the voice of the Alexander Graham Bell for the first time in my life actually the most of us lives and actually terrified me a little. Great job dlever for finding this treasure.
