3d model by me, in blender3d based off a microphone I own.
the turner 22 is a common microphone, despite never being a top seller, because it was made for at least 30 years.
It was originally sold to live venues and radio stations, but as the design aged it was increasingly marked to ham radio operators, Home Recording enthusiasts, and intercom makers.
this is an older example, as it was made before the base was redesigned to accommodate a switch, some time in the 1950s

Tavern car aboard the Southern Pacific train “Shasta Daylight”, 1949
Tavern cars were a type of passenger car used on American railroads from the 1930s through the postwar period into the early days of Amtrak in the 1970s. Basically buffet cars by a different name, tavern cars differed from formal dining cars in that they offered beverages and light meals (burgers and club sandwiches were especially popular) à la carte in a relaxed, informal environment, with lounge-like seating. Tavern cars offered drinks and meals at any time of day that the train was in service, including mid-afternoon and late at night, whereas dining cars served formal meals of several courses, and only at certain times of day.

New Streamlined Church and a Street Renamed
In 1938, Minneapolis’s northside welcomed a new streamlined church, St. Austin’s Catholic Church, at the northeast corner of Washburn Ave. N and 38th Ave. N. Designed by Minneapolis architects Bard and Vanderbilt, but heavily influenced by the church’s pastor, Rev. James Troy, and his worldly travels (to Brno, Czechoslovakia in particular), the church was an unusually modern, white stucco building with steep arches and curved corners. It was unlike any other building in the city and unlike anything Bard and Vanderbilt would design again.
The Church of St. Austin was a newly-organized Catholic church, made up of about 1500 people who formerly attended St. Bridget’s, St. Ann’s, Ascension, St. Phillips, Holy Cross, St. Joseph’s, and Sacred Heart churches. The new church was named in honor of the late Archbishop Austin Dowling, who was the second archbishop of the Archdiocese of St. Paul (succeeding John Ireland) from 1919 until his death in 1930.
It was the church that led to the renaming of 38th Ave. N to Dowling Ave. N, which was officially changed by the city council on November 12, 1937. (Note, Dowling Ave. was not named after the other famous Minnesota Dowling, Michael J. Dowling, the Minnesota politician, newspaper publisher, businessman, and spokesman for the physically handicapped, who as a boy lost three of his limbs to frostbite, and for whom Dowling Elementary School in South Minneapolis is named.)
Unfortunately, the streamlined St. Austin parish didn’t survive for long, cheaply built with stucco and wood trusses, rather than poured concrete, it wasn’t built to last. The church and parsonage were demolished in 1963, just 25 years after it was built, and five basic single-story homes were built in its place from 1964 to 1965 (pictured in Google streetview above).
St. Austin parish moved to a new brick building nearby, at the corner of Upton Ave. N and 41st Ave. N and eventually merged with St. Bridget parish. Their second building is now home to the New Oil Christian Center.
