ACME Whistles


ACME Whistles
Birmingham B19

Way back in the 1860s, Joseph Hudson, who was a Birmingham trained toolmaker, converted his humble washroom at St. Marks Square, which he rented for 1s. 6d. (one shilling and six pence per week) into a workshop. Here he did anything he could to supplement the family income from watch repairing to cobbling shoes. Today Acme whistles are recognised as some of the finest whistles manufactured in the world today.

R & D has been a constant feature of life at Acme as they constantly strive to improve the performance of even their most powerful whistles. For this purpose a test rig has been specially designed to check operating pressures on whistles and limits for overblowing.
