The whistle bells of the Canadian Pacific steamships Assiniboia and Keewatin measured 12inches in diameter and that of the Keewatin measured 60inches in length. [92] [93] Because the central layer is flexible, I found it easiest to glue and align the large triangular section in place, then carefully lift the thinner parts to drop a little glue between the layers and align them too. The Union Water Meter Company of Worcester Massachusetts produced a gong whistle [ clarify] composed of three bells, 8 x 9-3/4, 12 x 15, and 12 x 25inches. [95] Twelve-inch diameter steam whistles were commonly used at light houses in the 19th century. [96]

Locomotive steam trumpets were soon replaced by steam whistles. Air whistles were used on some diesel and electric locomotives, but these mostly employ air horns. Steam aperture width – If gas flow is restricted by the area of the steam aperture, widening the aperture will increase the sound level for a fixed blowing pressure. [61] Enlarging the steam aperture can compensate for the loss of sound output if pressure is reduced. It has been known since at least the 1830s that whistles can be modified for low pressure operation and still achieve a high sound level. [7] Data on the compensatory relationship between pressure and aperture size are scant, but tests on compressed air indicate that a halving of absolute pressure requires that the aperture size be at least doubled in width to maintain the original sound level, and aperture width in some antique whistle arrays increases with diameter (aperture area thus increasing with whistle cross-sectional area) for whistles of the same scale. [57] [61] Applying the physics of high pressure jets exiting circular apertures, a doubling of velocity and gas concentration at a fixed point in the whistle mouth would require a quadrupling of either aperture area or absolute pressure. (A quartering of absolute pressure would be compensated by a quadrupling of aperture area—the velocity decay constant increases approximately with the square root of absolute pressure in the normal whistle-blowing pressure range.) In reality, trading pressure loss for greater aperture area may be less efficient as pressure-dependent adjustments occur to virtual origin displacement. [34] [34] Quadrupling the width of an organ pipe aperture at a fixed blowing pressure resulted in somewhat less than a doubling of velocity at the flue exit. [68] As part of my schools recruitment drive for new students, we have a day that grade 6 kids can come to high school for a few hours and try different subjects. I was asked to motivate kids to choose engineering, which sounds all good, but, then you read the fine print...... 138 kids,... two and a half hours........ Oh crap! The whistle consists of the following main parts, as seen on the drawing: the whistle bell (1), the steam orifice or aperture (2), and the valve (9).

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Steam aperture profile – Gas flow rate (and thus sound level) is set not only by aperture area and blowing pressure, but also by aperture geometry. Friction and turbulence influence the flow rate, and are accounted for by a discharge coefficient. A mean estimate of the discharge coefficient from whistle field tests is 0.72 (range 0.69 - 0.74). [41] Early on the ability to call for help seems to be sensible. This based on the thought of calling ones to one’s side. However, at this time then, the need to repel ones also was predominant due to a cycling craze and current amount of foot traffic, horses and crowds in the cities.Dampflokpfeifen / The Whistles of Steamtrains.

Hooter whistle - a single note whistle of greater diameter with a longer bell, resulting in a deeper “hoot” sound when blown. These found use in rail, marine, and industrial applications. In the United States, the Norfolk and Western Railway made extensive use of these kinds of whistles and were noted for the squeaks and chirps produced when blown in addition to their low pitch.
