Born in Salem, Massachusetts,Thomas A. Watson (January 18, 1854 – December 13, 1934) was a bookkeeper and a carpenter before he found a job more to his liking in the Charles Williams machine shop in Boston. He was then hired by Alexander Graham Bell, who was then a professor at Boston University.

He relates episodes relating to the work and personality of Alexander Graham Bell and describes events of March 10, 1876, when Bell's call for help after an accident was heard by Watson over a receiver they had been testing. Filmed in 1931.
