The Micord-4 is a simple-to-use voice recorder. Lady Penelope uses one - to literally-life-saving effect - in Path of Destruction.
Some Unlikely Pillow Talk...[]
When the crew of the forest-clearing Crablogger falls ill with food poisoning - sending the out-of-control behemoth careening across the South American countryside, and threatening a major dam site - on the other side of the world, Penelope and Parker are called out to track down Crablogger's designer, Jim Lucas - who alone knows how to shut his massive creation down safely!
Having made her way into the Lucas home overnight with Parker's assistance, Penny has a very sleepy Lucas dictate the shut-down procedure, step by step, into the Micord-4 recorder.
She then tosses it to Parker, who returns to FAB 1 and links the recorder directly to Thunderbird 5 - where John Tracy is standing by. John then transmits Lucas' recorded instructions to his brother, Virgil...who's waiting, with Brains, inside Crablogger's control cabin, as time continues to tick away...
