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.
