Part of the play equipment in Claybury Park includes this acoustic telephone. The concrete parabolic reflectors are uncannily similar (except in size) to the acoustic aircraft detectors of the 1930's see Image & Image (Ironically these in the picture were made in Germany). When I was a kid we had to use coco tins and bits of string.
