The Dictograph microphone, and the Dictograph intercom system that is the subject of this article. The heart of his system was a fairly conventional but very sensitive microphone which he called the Metrophone.

It was patented by Turner and Norton Johnson in 1907. It used a larger than usual diaphragm that could pick up conversation from a reasonable distance, and so could be combined with a sensitive receiver, either a watchcase receiver or an inbuilt speaker, and used as a desktop intercom.

The idea of a handsfree office telephone system caught on quickly, and Turner's company had trouble meeting demand from their factory in Jamaica, New York.
