In 1876 Edison invented the Electro-Motograph.

By invented, we actually mean that he beat Graham Bell to the patent office.

The Motograph was the forerunner to Wireless phones.

It was first used on trains to decipher electric signals bounced from the Tracks to the portable Telegraph machines on trains.

It was later used to send and recieve the first telephone transmission overseas without the use of telephone lines.
