Abstract

Automatic telephone systems are older than is generally supposed. The telephone was invented by Graham Bell in 1876, and three years afterwards a patent was granted to Connolly and McTighe, which contained the principle of remote control through an electrical switching device. In 1887 the first automatic system was produced by Strowger, although it was not actually patented till 1889. Six years later, 1893, the first automatic exchange was opened at La Porte, Indiana.
