The telephone was invented by mistake, I by a man trying to make a humming telegraph. Elisha Gray , who made the initial breakthrough, would end up with nothing, while Alexander Graham Bell - the man who "borrowed" his idea and is widely credited with having invented it - would end up with what is arguably the most valuable patent in history. Jeremy tells an epic tale of money, greed, opportunism and blind chance.
