Tannoy Ribbon Microphone, No. 37, c.1972.

This microphone is one of those used in the House of Commons to cover debates and speeches for BBC broadcast. The Tannoy ribbon microphones were also known for their distinctive brass barrel-like appearance. Although Tannoy did the installation around 1972, broadcasts from Parliament did not officially begin until 3rd April, 1978. The Tannoy microphones were removed in 1992 to be replaced with more modern units.
