Lyrics

[Work in progress, thansk to Stanley Lieber for his help with the transcription]

Alexander Graham Bell
Thomas Watson
Tedy Bell
George Campbell's wave filter
Calling ships ashore
Frank Jewett
Harrold Black
Negative feedback
Televisions, fax machines
More and more and more

Hifi talkies, movie sound
Laying copper by the pound
System engineering, quality control

Karl Jansky
Herbert Ives
Davisson wins Nobel Prize
First speech synthesis
Beethoven in stereo
