WWII THROAT MICROPHONE No2 MK2

Ideal in noisy situations such as aircraft.
Can be a little distorted but still audible.

• At RAF Odiham we used them on helicopters after re-wiring to change impedance.

• Refurbished a 38 set in the 1960s and asked my sister to use the throat mikes.
  She became extremely upset and I had to urgently remove them.
  There was a trial telephone handset by the GPO called a Laryngnaphone using a throat mike. Not proceeded with but the circuit diagrams and line drawings exist online.

• I was told that the Royal Navy stopped using these in the 1960s as it was considered they led to users developing throat cancer.

• The item's ZA reference means it was for army use and would be used in tanks...probably with the 19set, which operated with carbon microphones,
