(1847–1922) Scottish-born inventor of the telephone. He lived in the USA from 1872 and became naturalized in 1874. His researches, begun in 1874, reached fruition on 10 March 1876 when he summoned his assistant with the first sentence ever transmitted by telephone, 'Mr Watson, come here; I want you'.
