When was the first telephone and motor car invented?

In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented his "electrical speech machine," which we now call a telephone.





In 1885 Karl Benz attached a four-stroke internal combustion engine to a three-wheeled carriage, and thus was born the first of the modern automobiles.


Gottlieb Daimler from Germany designed the first modern petrol-driven internal combustion engine for the car. In 1885 he fitted the engine to a bicycle and created the prototype of the present day motorcycle. A year later, in 1886, Daimler fitted one of his engines to a horse-carriage and ran the created the first four-wheeled motor car in history.
