It was envisioned as a baby or invalid monitor: you could know if someone remote in the house needed you, or if a burglar was breaking in. The Lindburg baby had been kidnapped and murdered a couple of years earlier; the nation was shocked and also afraid that their child could be the next victim. The Radio Nurse did not sell well, but it is a famous design creation of the great, late Noguchi: true art in the design of the speaker unit.

You don't know electronics history. The correct term then and now for this kind of mike is CONDENSER microphone. Yes, it is a capacitor, but the term is condenser. Be nice or the video maker will block your future comments entirely.

It would be easy to say that this was the first electronic "baby monitor", but it was probably used with bedridden people.
