The Greatest 3 British Inventions

TELEPHONE

It was invented by  Alexander Graham Bell in 1876.The telephone came about thanks to a discovery that a thin metal sheet vibrating in an electromagnetic field produces an electrical waveform that corresponds to the vibration.
Today the phone is very important, the people can comunicate with other people around all the world in very little time,there are two types of telephone: the mobile phone and the fixed telephone.






PHOTOGRAPHY

It was invented by William Henry Fox Talbot. In 1835, Fox Talbot (right) made another breakthrough by using silver iodide on paper and found a way to produce a translucent negative that could be used to make any number of positives by contact printing  a system used until the advent of digital cameras.
Today photography is a good way to save your memories printed on paper or computer.



MODERN FIRE EXTINGUISHER

it was invented George William Manby in 1818.The first modern extinguisher, the Extincteur, was invented after Manby saw firemen struggling to put out a blaze on the top floors of a house fire in Edinburgh. His solution was a portable copper cask containing three to four gallons of potassium carbonate, which dispersed by compressed air via a stopcock.
