[78-L] earliest recorded fon call

[Tom Hood]

Hi Joe
The first intercontinental phone call was immortalized by the song Hello 
Frisco,Hello.The first transatlantic phone call was recorded by Bell 
Telephone.Also the rehearsal the day before.I heard the recording at the 
Science Museum in London.Sorry I can't give you dates.
