Prove that Bell did not invent the phone?

According to the Associated Press, journalist Seth Shulman confirmed that he proved that Alexander Graham Bell was not the inventor of the phone but stole Elisha Gray's idea.

The debate over who is the father of the phone began in the late nineteenth century. Both Bell and Gray claimed they were inventors, but the patentee was Bell. Gray sued in court but lost.

In the book that will be sold in early 2008, journalist Seth Shulman relies on Bell's lab diary that was published a few years ago to prove that the idea of ​​the phone that Bell received a patent only appeared in the diary 12 days after he sent the application for a certificate.

The drawing of the person using the device like Bell's phone is only a little different from the figure shown in Gray's patent application.

Seth Shulman also cited the memoirs of his contemporaries, Bell, who said he had lost his temper when he had to practice the phone idea when Gray was there and Bell refused to provide testimony in court. but Gray tries to prove his right to the invention.

However, Seth Shulman also acknowledged that if Bell was not the first to have an idea, he was the first to create a phone. Gray is not going beyond the original idea.
