Most people have heard of Alexander Graham Bell, who invented the telephone in 1876. But it was a little-known English priest called Henry Hunnings (0) J . Bell's model could transmit a voice up to about 23km. A year after its invention, Thomas Edison improved on the model by attaching a solid-carbon button inside the mouthpiece. But Hunnings decided to experiment with granular carbon (1) ... This improved the voice clarity and extended the voice-transmission distance to about 72 km. Hunnings was granted a patent for his invention in December 1878.

Hunnings was born in 1843 near London. He became a priest in Yorkshire and although much of his time was taken up with Church matters, he had a profound interest in all sorts of gadgets, (2) ... A friend of Hunnings with similar interests, called Cox Walker, built a telephone receiver. In 1880 an American called Anders visited England and asked Walker (3) ... He was impressed and offered Hunnings £1,000 for the patent. The offer was accepted and the Globe Company was formed (4) ... In 1881 Hunnings was granted two patents in the United States for his invention. But by this time so many people and companies were involved in telephone design and manufacture

(5) ... There was a famous court case in 1882 when the United Telephone Company took the Globe Company to court for an alleged infringement of its patents. At first it failed to have the Hunnings patent declared invalid (6) ...

It then bought the rights to the entire patent from Hunnings.

TRAVEL HOTELS

Room for revolution

Electronic gadgets have moved out of the office and into the hotel bedroom in a big way. Gone are the days when smart city-centre hotels provided mere B & B with a few in-room luxuries thrown in.

Today's travellers are less interested in clothes hangers and hairdryers than in-room fax machines and natty TV sets that let them pay the bill, (0) J .

Some people even predict that tomorrow's globetrotters won't waste any time in the lobby when they roll up at their hotel for the night. They'll check themselves in on an in-room monitor, heat up a snack in their wall-mounted microwave and then (1) ... While personal service will remain a premium at the top end of the market, technology will (2) ...

Hotels geared to push-button living now provide personal pagers, extra phone lines for fax and computers, in-room answering machines, magnetic door keys and touch-screens which can (3) ... Bedside remote controls enable guests to flick through a score of TV 20 channels, turn up the temperature and (4) ... Should push-button living make guests lazy, hotels are also jacking up the high-tech content of their gyms. Videos to plug into while pumping iron are now commonplace, while staff will often (5) ...

Whether microchips will ultimately replace the personal touch at tomorrow's leading hotels remains to be seen. Robots are unlikely to (6) ... However, there's little doubt that properties with up-to-the-second communications technology will steal a march on the competition.

Will tomorrow's travellers gladly swap 21st century gadgets for a helping of good old-fashioned service? The chances are they will have checked out on their TV screen and be halfway to the plane before anyone thinks to ask.
