To the Electronic Fullerphone
Dutch Army ‘Geheimtelegraaf
In 1929 the Dutch Army developed a DC Morse instrument based on the Fullerphone without
an internal field telephone. The buzzer/interrupter, a delicate and awkward to adjust
instrument, was replaced by a simple buzzer which was mechanically coupled to a microphone
acting as chopper. Unfortunately no photo or drawing of the instrument could be found
to date.

This design variation was simple and foolproof, but probably not as sensitive as
the mechanical buzzer/chopper used in the British Fullerphones. This was most probably
not required.
