Yeah Mulgaphones weren’t around for long - for one thing the govt regs at the time forced the manufacturer to set the frequency - so you couldn’t listen to any other stations - not that there were any when it started… later came Batyphones and they were tunable (as were the latter Mulgas). At my talk I met the daughter of Mr Baty! Couldn’t believe it.

I often think about how we did our jobs in the “olden days”. No fax, no email, no internet. Just a boloxy old telex machine. When we got computers, like the telex they printed out on rolls of paper.

No mobile phones.

I like the new technology myself!
