This Type EWT 5/83 mine telephone made of cast iron served as a connection between above ground and underground miners. Mine telephones are specially designed to suit their environment: they are protected from firedamp and explosions and have a particularly loud phone bell so that they can be heard in spite of excessive ambient noise.
