A modular telephone housing 12 adapted for structurally and electrically coupling to other like modular telephone housings. The housing includes two tapered ribs 60 and 62 disposed at one end thereof, and two corresponding tapered grooves 104 and 106 disposed at an opposite end thereof for mating with the tapered ribs of an adjacent modular telephone housing. A male connector 18 includes a plate 34 coupling to one end of a flat cable 16, a resilient backing strip 44 between the plate and the contact strip, and two alignment pins 46 and 48. A female connector 20 includes a plate 74 coupled to the other end of the flat cable, and two alignment slots 82 and 84.

Modular telephone housing

An automatic inflation system for use as an emergency locating system which is activated by the severance of an initiator wire which in turn begins the operation of a transmitter and a timer. Following a period of time as determined by the timer, a pair of electrically activated pyrotechnic thrusters are actuated and cause the rupture of seals on a pair of compressed gas storage cylinders which in turn results in the inflation of two sections of a twin mast, raising a radio antenna and radar reflective material. A radio transmitter is also activated at the start of the time delay with an emergency locating signal broadcast from the antenna, after the mast is raised. This system provides improved means of locating missing equipment when searched for by radio search, radar search, and/or visual search.
