Dissenting Opinion on Drawbaugh Bell Invention
Justice Bradley explains a dissent against the court’s finding, arguing Drawbaugh anticipated Bell. He cites extensive testimony from witnesses in 1869 to 1871 about variable resistance and magneto electric instruments. The dissent portrays Drawbaugh as a practical mechanic lacking public appeal, while Bell’s lab setup is praised for its forward-looking impact.
