Clément Ader (2 April 1841 – 5 March 1925) was a French inventor and engineer born in Muret , Haute Garonne , and is remembered primarily for his pioneering work in aviation . Ader innovated in a number of electrical and mechanical engineering fields. He originally studied electrical engineering , and in 1878 improved on the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell . After refining the Bell Telephone he established the first such network in Paris in 1880. In 1881, he invented the " théâtrophone ", a system of telephonic transmission where listeners received a separate channel for each ear, enabling stereophonic perception of the actors on a set; it was this invention which gave the first stereo transmission of opera spectacles, over a distance of 2 miles (3 km) in 1881. In 1903, he devised a V8 engine for the Paris-Madrid Rally ; although three or four were produced, none was sold.
