Can you please cite some references regarding the "artificial larynx" experiments?

It was said the speech from the experiment "could be heard clearly and distinctly at 15 miles." In spite of the very heavy build using 3/4" steel plate the device soon self destructed developing cracks through the plates. These cracks resulted in termination of the experimental research.<br /><br /zynzy4uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691772403118773108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010919616459375718.post-9133256704146494582019-02-16T02:09:30.747+05:302019-02-16T02:09:30.747+05:30It's either a test rocket or ram jet cone.

These plates are at very close to right angles with each other forming what is known as a corner cube and will reflect a radar signal back in exactly the same direction as the signal came from. The megaphone is orientated exactly up and down the Ludlow / Broadwell lake bed valley. I believe the device was used to desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417305321050610175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010919616459375718.post-90964241963108635652015-10-16T19:49:20.736+05:302015-10-16T19:49:20.736+05:30It does look a lot like a venturi flow meter.

The only people that spend money like that is our government.<br />Maybe it's connected to the atomic test area which isn't that far away.

I have discovered it today, after a search about "towns along the Equator" with Google.<br />I will be following You with a great pleasure. I have linked permanently Your website from mine about the borders (more that 8,200,000 pageviews and more than 800 photos in the archive).<br />Best wishes!Gio.
