Chapter 247: Series of Meetings I

It was the morning of June 22nd and Charlton was currently in their ducal mansion's drawing room with Alexander Bell, discussing the way forward for their telephone business. His father was at the house of lords attending another session before he leaves for Suffox in the afternoon. Kylo was out, doing God knows what.

"Basically, the telephone is like the telegraph only that instead of receiving codes, one would be receiving the voice of the speaker from the other end and vice-versa. As you can see here, this is the instrument. It has a power source, a switch hook, a dialer, a transmitter, a receiver, and an anti-sidetone circuit." Alexander explained.

"Yes, I understand those things from the documents you sent me. Though I suggest that we hold a public demonstration to make people understand the use of this instrument once we launch it. Now, my main concern is, how would this telephone business work? Have you already set up a centralized telephone network?"
