1914 Magnavox 
This telephone was designed so that the users voice vibrated the diaphragm
through holes in the top of the transmitter housing while speaking directly
into the mouthpiece. Any unwanted loud noise entered the transmitter
housing both from the holes on top and underneath the diaphragm thus
canceling itself out. The dual swivelling receivers helped to block out the
unwanted loud noise as well. This desk set was found by the present owner
in a second hand store in the town of Mount Shasta, California. It is now
part of the Christianson Telephone Collection.
