INVENTOR
TAKEN BY DEATH
Daniel Drawbaugh Who Claim:
to Have Originated Speech
Transmission.
LOSES TO BELL COMPANY
Prevented by Poverty From Obtain
ing Patents in Time to Reap
the Profits.

Harrisburg. Pa, Nov. 4.-Daniel D.
Draw baugh, who claimed TO be the
original inventor of the telephone, died
at his home near this city at the age
of 81. For the last month he had been
at work on a wireless burglar alarm.
He was seized with an attack of apo
plexy while in his laboratory. Daniel
Drawbaugh lived nearly all his life in
the village OF Eberley's Mills, or Mill.
town. Pa. where he was born in 1927.
He had limited advantages for educa.
ton. and early evinced a remarkable
mechanical ingenuity. Before he was
1s years old he made small steam
engine and an automatic machine for
Rock Island Argus., 1911-11-04

saving wagon felloes, the latter being
his own invention.
His occupation at this time was the
repairing of clocks and guns, making
rough furniture and machinery. He
also painted portraits for his neigh
bors.
EARLY INTERESTED IN PHYSICS.
While thus occupied he became ar
enthusiast on the subject of physics
and "a e electrical apparatus a special
STUDY. He made electric clocks and
batteries run by the earth. dial tele-
graphs, besides a large number of 9th
er electrical contrivances. He invent
ed and patented a railmaking machine.
He conceived the idea of electrical
transmission of speech in 1860. He had
learned that sound was made up of
ether vibrations. Knowing that cleo
tricity could be conducted on wire
for a long distance. he formed the idea
that sound vibrations also could be
transmitted. In 1869 or 1870 he claim
ed to have invented the magnetic
transmitter (similar 10 BelTs) and
made a full sized operative machine.
About 1870 or 1871 he improved the
receiver and prior TO 1873 he exhibited
3 pair OF magnetic instruments which
worked satisfactorily.
In 1874 he improved the receiver of
the carbon telephone and made an in
strument which still is in existence.
About 1873 he was constantly invent
ing and perfecting new machines. but
until 1879 was unable TO meet the ex-
Pense of procuring his patents. Since
then he had obtained a large number
of patents for various instruments.
DEFEATED BY BELL COMPANY.
In 1881 Mr.. DraEbaugh laid claim
to the invention Of the telephone, and
his interests were represented by the
Peoples Telephone company. The
company which owned Bells patents
sought 10 restrain the Peoples com
pany from using Drawbaugh's tele-
phone on the ground that it was an
infringement upon the patents controll-
ed by the Bell company. An iniunc-
ton was granted, and the decision of
the suit went against Mr.. Drawbaugh
on technicalities.
