[GoLUG] A second 'BELL'

[David Billsbrough]

All,

A man named Bell makes a device that takes distance communication from Morse code to audible voice.

Another Bell invents an UART for digital communications:

>  As a part of his design of the PDP-1 I/O system, he invented the world’s first digital universal asynchronous
> receiver transmitter (UART). The single-chip UART progeny of Bell’s design was one of the first common very
> large-scale integration (VLSI) chips and one of the key communications chips that enabled computers to
> communicate inexpensively with each other and peripheral devices.
