A native of Florence, Meucci studied design and mechanical engineering at the Academy of Fine Arts there and later worked as a stage technician at the city's Teatro della Pergola. He developed a communications system allowing his colleagues at the theater to talk among themselves.
He emigrated, first to Cuba, where, during his work with early electro-shock therapy, he heard a patient’s voice over the copper wire. He began experimenting as early as 1849 with voice transmissions when Bell was only two years old. In 1850, he moved to New York with his wife Ester to continue his experiments.
When Ester became immobilized by arthritis, Meucci set up a communications system between her second-story bedroom and his workshop. He apparently made several working models of his invention, and he gave a public demonstration of his device, which he called a “talking telegraph” and named teletrofono, in 1860.
The Meucci family was always short of money. After Antonio was severely injured in a ferryboat accident in 1871, Ester sold some of the telephone models to a second-hand shop for $6 to pay for his care. The others were stored in the laboratory Meucci shared with Bell and Watson.
Unable to afford $250 for a patent application, Meucci filed a caveat for $10 later that year. A caveat was a one-year, renewable declaration of an intention to file for a patent. The caveat contained a brief description of the proposed telephone. Meucci was unable to renew the caveat after 1874 for lack of funds.
At the same time, Meucci sent a model with technical details to the Western Union company because he wanted to test his invention over their wires. He was put off for about three years, and when he requested return of the materials in 1874, he was told they had been lost.Two years later, in 1876, Bell filed his patent for the telephone. Meucci eventually sued. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, and the federal government moved to annul Bell’s patent on the grounds of fraud and misrepresentation. Bell counter-sued, and the case dragged for years, ending when the presiding judge died and Bell's patent expired. Meucci died a pauper in 1889; Bell went on to fame and fortune.
So that story starts out with Esther Watson Tipple...

Wow I had no idea that her letter to Einstein was turned into a book! Awesome.
Darshana international, vol. 3, no. 3, Aug. 1963
So that's in the Ames South Asian library at the University of Minnesota - I think.
Yep - says "item in place"
So I used to have that book but now it's $65 online. haha.
Yep so this is an extensive "review" and promotion of Oliver L. Reiser's work! Amazing.

So who was he? From Alabama - so most likely an eugenicist....
New York Times...May 28, 1937
There were lawsuits that prove otherwise!! Hilarious. Another great US "myth" destroyed...

here we go - he was buddies with Reiser....

A number of historical initiatives open the way for reconsidering Huxley: these include interest in the early years of Unesco and the Unesco declaration on race, elucidation of how Cold War Culture was shaped by intelligence agencies, and historical reconstruction of the place of eugenics in international population policies and practices.
Since the 1920s Huxley engaged in public outreach as an essayist and author of popular books, not least with H.G. Wells. Huxley espoused new media for communicating the biological gospel of a healthy society.
Yes - as Jim Keith exposed - HG Wells was the original source for the Matrix World Brain
Dirk - thanks for the response. I just found the NY Times quoting Einstein's praise of Oliver L. Reiser - in his obit. Yeah Reiser relied on Esther Watson Tipple's mathematical structure from music theory that he called the "music logarithmic spiral." So the "plan" goes back to Plato and Archytas - it's the structural drive of the mathematics itself. A good book on this is math professor Luigi Borzacchini, "Plato's Computer" - I first corresponded with him in 2001 - soon after I discovered the Actual Matrix Plan. haha. He said my math was good but I didn't have any historical proof of it. Yes there is now historical proof from Professor Richard McKirahan - meaning that Eudoxus introduced "magnitude" into music theory to discover logarithms. So I also corresponded with Michael Persinger, a professor, to ask his opinion of Andrija Puharich - the both did MKultra research - and Puharich co-authored the Actual Matrix Plan with Reiser. Persinger said Puharich was "greatly underestimated" - and then Persinger went on to corroborate the work of Puharich. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l6VPpDublg Have you seen Persinger's talk, "No More Secrets"? thanks
It was at this juncture that Huxley coined the term “transhumanism”, a term that he used only intermittently.64
