Although it was in 1854 that Charles Borseul had suggested a telephone for transmitting the human voice by means of electricity, the term "telephone" was not applied to an actual electrical instrument until Philipp Reis devised his instrument in 1860.*" In 1859, after becoming a teacher of science in a gym- nasium near Frankfurt ain Main, Reis returned to the studies on sound that he had begun previously.
