There is so much more to discover. That is perhaps the most pleasing thing about our 150th anniversary archive project. In it, we learn of Joseph's early struggles, the poverty he endured and the need for Joseph to supplement his income repairing shoes to support his young family. The article then describes in detail how he came to invent the Metropolitan Police Whistle and the desperate trip to London that he was forced to make in order to secure the order that would transform his fortunes and lift him out of poverty Written in 1930, only months after Joseph's death, it documents an interview with his son, James Clifford Hudson. The article informs us of Joseph's early struggles, the poverty he endured and the need for Joseph to supplement his income repairing shoes to support his young family. It describes in detail how he came to invent the Metropolitan Police Whistle and the desperate trip to London that he was forced to make in order to secure the order that would transform the company's fortunes. #acme #acmewhistles #whistle #design #companyhistory #heritage #madeinengland #madeinbirmingham #birmingham #birminghamuk #archive #birminghamhistory #historyofbirmingham #industrialrevolution #150years #josephhudson

A Dog's Best Friend - the truth about dog whistles We were delighted to see our whistles discussed in last week's Countryman Magazine weekly feature. The article covers the origins and science behind the dog whistles we use today, before offering some very useful guidance on how to start using your whistle effectively. #acme #acmewhistles #dogwhistle #dogtraining #dogtrainer #gundog #labrador #madeinengland #madeinbirmingham #birminghamuk

A collection of WW2 Air Ministry 'Ditch' whistles that would be sufficient to supply the entire aircrew of a Lancaster bomber. @rpfkin recently posted this image on Instagram, showcasing the original 60.5 ACME Thunderer Air Ministry whistles he has managed to collect. They were issued to RAF and USAAF aircrews during WW2 for attracting attention in the event that they were forced to ditch into the sea. #acme #acmewhistles #acmethunderer #airministry #raf #usaaf #worldwar2 #ww2 #militaryhistory #militaryheritage #madeinengland #madeinbirmingham #birminghamuk
