IIRC, the LR played a major role in the campaign against microphones
in the 1940s and early '50s, drawing on his expertise as an electrical
engineer.  I think I saw him quoted as saying that those who permit
them either don't understand halacha or don't understand the metzius.
(This was before the invention of transistors, so those issues didn't
come up.)
