Highâ€"pitch ‘whistles are far more eflegti ve than lowâ€"pitch whistles, he believes. " The usual position of the whistle compliâ€" cates a forward projection of the sound. We are told that the sound is deflected: by the smokestack, bell, steam donie, generator, and a blanâ€" ket of gases. Every year, says Proâ€" fessor Foley, 2434026 tons of goal are burned in making steam to‘;ow locomotive whistles. He wantg to see the whistles placed farther forâ€" ward, and adapted to a highpitch note. Those improvements, he thinks, would help to save many live$ and many dollarsâ€"how many lives he doesn‘t know, but the saving in Failâ€" road coal bills, he figures, would amount to $5,000,000 a year. $ The professor seems rather loW in his mind about our whistles.
