		Elisha Gray was born in Barnesville, Ohio in 1835.
		Gray later claimed he got the first idea for using musical tones to send telegraph messages in 1867, when he was using a vibrating metal reed, or rheotome, in a circuit with an electromagnet and a telegraph key.
		Gray’s cognitive style could be best described by a matrix: he developed a set of alternate mechanical representations for transmitters and receivers, and tested and patented many of the possible combinations.

	Adventures in CyberSound: Gray, Elisha
		Gray lost no time in applying this chance discovery by designing the physiological receiver, which consists of a sounding-box having a zinc face and mounted on an axle, so that it can be revolved by a handle.
		Gray's transmitter is supposed to have been suggested by the very old device known as the 'lovers' telephone,' in which two diaphragms are joined by a taut string, and in speaking against one the voice is conveyed through the string, solely by mechanical vibration, to the other.
		Gray employed electricity, and varied the strength of the current in conformity with the voice by causing the diaphragm in vibrating to dip a metal probe attached to its centre more or less deep into a well of conducting liquid in circuit with the line.

		Elisha Gray was almost the inventor of the telephone, who learnt the harsh truth that a miss is a good as a mile.
		Gray had been working on ideas to create the first telephone and, although it wasn't finished, filed his initial designs for patent on 14th February 1876.
		Regardless of this, Gray continued with a successful career and in 1880 became the professor of dynamic electricity at Oberlin College in Ohio.

		Elisha Gray (August 2, 1835 – January 21, 1901) was an electrical engineer and is best known for his development of a telephone prototype in 1876 in Highland Park, Illinois, independently of Alexander Graham Bell.
		Gray gave several private demonstrations of this invention in New York and Washington DC in May and June 1874.
		Gray's telautograph machines were used by banks for signing documents at a distance and by the military for sending written commands during gun tests when the deafening noise from the guns made spoken orders on the telephone impractical.

	Chapter 3.4: Competition over the Harmonic Multiple Telegraph
		Gray's themes are harder to reconstruct than Bell's, because Gray left less in the way of written records and the only biography, by Lloyd Taylor, is an unpublished work of uneven quality (Taylor, Unpublished Manuscript).
		Gray's next mental model for a harmonic telegraph came from observing his nephew touching a zinc-lined bathtub with one hand while in the other he held a coil connected to a vibrating rheotome, an electromagnetic device which produced a tone.
		Gray, in contrast, was a master at constructing complex circuits.
