Yes, If you unscrew the lower part of the hand-set, you'll find this mic.

There is a surgical tool similar to this, but that's not what this one was made for.
> 79 is a tool for installing snaps or grommets.
This one isn't for snaps or grommets.

Yes, it's a wire spring relay from the phone company.
Also, thanks to all who answered my original question about the center
gauge notches.

Greg has it right. The small cut also prevents accumulated crud from
interfering with the measurement.

It stops any imperfections in the tip from preventing the sides from
registering correctly

#82 is actually a lathe centering gauge, aka 'fishhook'. It's used to
set up a toolbit perpendicular to a rod in a metal-cutting lathe prior
to chasing threads. The side opposite the 2 small V's is placed against
the rod, and the toolbit is then lined up using one of those V's. I've
used one of these many a time to cut threads.

78 is a surgical tool.
79 is a tool for installing snaps or grommets.

clearance. without the notch any tiny bit of grunge would throw the
point off center.

Number 81 is a multiple contact telephone system relay from the 50s. The
twisted pins in the top photograph plug into the system.
