Boot
Hill, 2008. Above: This interesting photo from
the 2008 event at Boot Hill in Jones, MI shows nationally known whistle
restorer and collector Larry Spreckelmeier using
a leverage stick to operate one of several steam whistles set up on a
manifold. This event features a boiler and a suitable manifold with 160
PSI saturated steam in a great outdoor setting where participants can
demon-strate their steam whistles to great advantage. A steam powered
air com-pressor also supplies compressed air to a receiver so that those
of us who collect air horns can also listen to our treasures too.
Right: Horn & Whistle editor-in-chief, Harry
Barry stands next to a 12" chime whistle. This picture
shows you how large some whistles are. Usually a whistle like this would be
way up on a factory or boiler room roof and it would be hard to estimate its
actual size.
