Too easy, the use of the humble battery operated megaphone by one (late)
Eldon Hogan over more years than your average gunzel can even remember to
announce all manners of things relevant and irrelevant while on tours
around Victoria.

He wielded it with such skill??  eloquence??  authority??  too damn
often??  that his hand was rarely seen without it.

Even today, the Hogaphone is the commonly used word around Steamrail for
describing the megaphone.
