First Telephone Call | One
of the best documented telephone calls in history occurred on this day when Alexander
Graham Bell telephoned his assistant in another room with the now immortal phrase: "Mr.
Watson, come here; I want you." Bell
had received patent Number 174,465 for the telephone technology just three days
before. He
beat an American inventor, Elisha Gray, by only a few hours. |

First Ford Mustang Made | The
Ford Mustang was the company's attempt to create a sporty smaller car inexpensive
enough for young cars buyers. Lee Iacocca, the legendary figure in US car history,
was one of the car's biggest publicists, managing to create a media storm on its
release to the public in April 1964. The
car cost $2,368, but buyers then had to pay for extras, the average for which
was over $1,000. |
