Acme is the world’s largest and most famous producer of whistles. In 1883 Joseph Hudson, a toolmaker and violinist, began tinkering in his toolshed to make gadgets to sell. One of the things he made was whistles. Prior to that time whistles had been used as musical instruments. After observing Bobbies (British Police) having a hard time communicating with rattles, he realized that his whistle could be used as a tool. Hudson accidentally dropped his violin and it shattered on the floor. After observing how the discordant sound of the strings breaking traveled, he got the idea to put a pea in the whistle. This gave it an ear splitting rattle that could grab attention up to two miles away. After a demonstration at Scotland Yard he had his first sale. The first whistle was nicknamed the “Thunderer” and the rest was history. The “Thunderer” is still Acme’s best selling brand. |
