	Johann Philipp Reis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johann Philipp Reis (January 7, 1834 – January 24, 1874), was born in Gelnhausen, Germany, as son to a poor baker.
		But Philipp Reis does not seem to have realised the importance of not entirely breaking the circuit of the current; at all events, his metal spring is not in practice an effective provision against this, for it allows the metal contacts to jolt too far apart, and thus interrupt the current.
		Philipp Reis was buried in the cemetery of Friedrichsdorff, and in 1878, after the introduction of the speaking telephone, the members of the Physical Society of Frankfort erected an obelisk of red sandstone bearing a medallion portrait over his grave.

	The early history of the telephone.
		Reis himself found that consonants were more perfectly transmitted than vowels by his apparatus, and sought to investigate the phenomenon and to remedy it.
		Reis had attempted to solve the problem of transmitting speech by interrupting an electric current; Bell worked by arranging that the vibrations of sound should alter the driving or electromotive force of the circuit, and Professor Hughes was trying to achieve a similar result by making the vibrations alter the resistance.
		Philip Reis was the son of a German master baker and small farmer, and was born at Gelnhausen in 1834.

		Johann Philipp Reis (January 7, 1834 -- January 24, 1874), was born in Gelnhausen, Germany, as son to a Jewish baker.
		On 14th of September, 1859 was married, and shortly after he moved to Friedrichsdorf, to begin his new career as a teacher.
		Another line was erected between the physical cabinet at Garnier's Institute across the playground to one of the class-rooms, and there was a tradition in the school that the boys were afraid of creating an uproar in the room for fear that Philipp Reis would hear them with his "telephon".

		According to other sources Philip Reis invented it in 1860, but his device was capable only of transmitting musical tones, not intelligible speech, so it is a 'telephone' in name only.
		The very early history of the telephone is a confusing morass of claim and counterclaim, which was not clarified by the huge mass of lawsuits which hoped to resolve the patent claims of individuals.
		The Reis transmitter was very difficult to operate, since the relative position of the needle and the contact were critical to the device's operation at all.

	Who Really Invented the Telephone? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Thus there appeared upon the scene the so-called "Reis telephone," which was not a telephone at all, in any practical sense, but which served well enough for nine years or more as a weapon to use against the Bell patents.
		Reis, in his later years, realised that his machine could never be used for the transmission of conversation; and in a letter to a friend he tells of a code of signals that he has invented.
		As a teacher of acoustics, Bell knew that the one indispensable requirement of a telephone is that it shall transmit the WHOLE of a sound, and not merely the pitch of it.

		His intention was to finish his training at the University_of_Heidelberg, but in the spring of 1858 he visited his old friend and master, Hofrath Garnier, who offered him a post in Garnier's Institute.
		The results were described in a paper, "On the Radiation of Electricity," which, in 1859, he posted to Professor Poggendorff; for insertion in the then well-known periodical, ''Annalen der Physik.'' The manuscript was declined, to the great disappointment of the sensitive young teacher.

		Philipp Reis was born on the 7th of January, 1834 in Gelnhausen, Germany, in a Jewish family.
		Reis developed his invention; in the course of the time appeared 10 different forms of the transmitter (today microphone named) and 4 of the receiver.
		Reis was sickly, and impoverished, with neither the means nor the stamina to capitalize on the device.

	History of the Telephone part 9
		Reis referred to and wrote about his device reproducing tones but it is imperative to understand that in German the word ton (plural-"tone") is equivalent to our English word sound and includes articulate as well as musical sound depending on the context in which the word is used.
		These individuals claimed Reis did not invent an instrument for transmitting human speech nor was that his intent but rather developed a musical instrument and dubbed his device a "tone-telephone".
		Had Philipp Reis not become ill and died at the young age of forty in 1874, he would have participated in the race for the telephone patent.

		However, an Italian inventor Antonio Meucci is said to have invented the device in 1849, and in September 2001, Meucci was officially credited by the US Congress with the invention of the telephone, instead of Alexander Graham Bell.
		According to other sources Philip Reis invented it in 1860, but due to a false translation of the German word "Telephon" his invention was considered only the predecessor of Bell's one.

		Certainly he was the first scientist to coin the word 'telephony' (1861) and he did, in fact, invent an apparatus for the transmission and reception of sound, based on the discoveries of Dr C.G. Page on the transmission of vibrations by electromagnetic circuit (1837).
		The Reis Fernsprecher, however, was constructed on fundamentally unsound principles, relying on the interruption of the current to produce impulses.
		The Reis apparatus was well-known in the 1860s and its construction reported in more than 50 scientific journals of the period.

		When he closed the key, he "noticed a singing sound in the electro-magnet, and by working the [telegraph] key as if transmitting a Morse message, the signals were audibly produced on the magnet by long and short sounds, representing the dots and dashes of the Morse alphabet" (Gray, 1977).
		His mental model was the telephone receiver developed by Philip Reis.
		All of Gray's receivers embodied this principle and hence were capable of reproducing several tones simultaneously, but they employed different mechanical representations in the amplification of the vibrating core of the electromagnets.
