I was just watching the Tournament of Roses Parade this morning when Honda entered the longest float in the parade's history. It resembled a steam locomotive,...
It's been a while since I posted anything but I have what I think is an interesting topic I would like to throw out for discussion. I recently sold some stuff...
I have seen pictures of whistles like this before when I was publisher of Horn & Whistle magazine. The principle behind changing frequencies without changing...
Last nite, I took my B F air tank and set it in the back of my pickup. I put my 5 chime MKT whistle on one of the outlets, and took the whole assembly to...
Hi Joe. If you get a chance, I would like to hear the recording. Thanks, Dave joe dobson <otei203@...> wrote: Last nite, I took my B F air tank and set...
Good Morning & Happy New Year Joe. I also would like a copy of your wave file. Sounds like you had good time in spite of the technical glitches. Gregg...
It wasn't really a toot this year it was more like a blow. I'm glad I made it down there. I didnt think air could make a whistle sound so good. We had 10 or so...
... Thanks to Ron for the interesting Kinsley-Lonertgan comparison. I have a Kinsley (Number 49785) that is constructed internally like your Lonergan. How does...
... From: Ron Beberniss ... Acoustical observations on the Lonergan-type chimes: As the bell casing (lip) is raised, the scale of the shortest chamber changes...
We had shop air to run the horns with three on the horn manifold at all times. The horn manifold was set up about 200' away from the whistles with Airchime...
Some additional thoughts on Kinsley whistles (Helmholtz resonators vs traditional flue pipes): Are the mouths of the individual chambers scaled, so that the...
Ron, Thanks for the pictures and the comparison - that is great. Is there anyway you could get a picture from the "back" side of that great display set also??...
Richard, Now I'm confused! As I understand it Helmholtz resonators won't sustain standing waves - they're actually used to absorb them. It's my understanding...
I'm defining any resonator which uses its internal volume and mouth opening (as opposed to its length) as its main frequency determinant as a Helmholtz...
This is disappointing but not unexpected. There is almost 2 full generations of people who don't know what a high power whistle is, what they were used for,...
... From: "Richard J. Weisenberger" <rjweis00@...> ... Presumably the flared Kinsley chambers are acoustically analagous to the long chamber of a Powell...
To me, you just said a mouthful! Two full generations have not been familiar with the sound of a high power whistle or even know what they look like and how...
It sounds like the Powell chime, in which the longest chamber opens into a large cavity above the shorter chambers is a combination flue pipe/Helmholtz...
Thanks Peter. I was hoping maybe you had tested some of the unusual shaped/configured whsitles. I'm some what curious if they are able to achieve the same...

I'm guessing that these designs evolved over time, through much trial and error and many sessions of going back to the drawing board to get it all right....

David Wolf just gave me permission to post our recent ongoing discussion to the group. It's all good food for thought. Another question has since arisen on the...
