Hello Norm and everybody,

Well said.  The same situation applies to lighting history .
There were many predecessors who attempted to produce
electric light. But Edison in USA and Sir Joseph Swan in England
concurrently invented the first PRACTICAL incandescent light.
......Ditto for Alexander Graham Bell for telephone ,etc,etc......
