J. Faurot - (Oct. 14, 1872 -Nov. 20, 1942 )
New York City Police detective who introduced the use of finger-printing in the United States.
He was the first to use fingerprints to identify a criminal, and the first to obtain a conviction with fingerprint evidence.
Faurot rose to become a deputy police commissioner before his retirement in 1926.
In 1906, N.Y.P.D. Police Commissioner McAdoo sent Det. Sgt. Joseph Faurot to London to obtain information of the process of fingerprinting, where it had been in use for several years. Det. Sgt. Faurot returned with samples of the first fingerprint cards, at which time the Department began to implement this new crime fighting technique. In 1908, a murder case was the first case solved by the N.Y.P.D. utilizing this technology.

Whistle Museum takes a summer vacation for "renovations", and thanks the warm appreciative and helpful emails from visitors.
The note below is exactly two month old ,
I hope to be back soon with much more info and many more whistles , meanwhile I reduced the number of categories from over 70 to a more basic devision ,
which means each category includes more entries.
I hope to keep the cleanup job with tags as well .
I am still looking for the best solution available here.
Hopefully I will have it in better order soon
and work on some articles about how whistles
can be categorized in the group of small aerophones.
Meanwhile I appologize to all the kind people who contacted
with comments and question and I will answer all soon.
As some request further research ( Mr. Slideman) .
Again I greatly appreciate the interest, questions and comment are very welcome .
See you soon.

Dog Whistle Sounds 12000Hz- 44000Hz sound samples, Acme Whistles today. (4)
Dog Whistles Sounds,
Can you hear a dog whistle? Probably not. Dogs hear higher freqencies better than people do. That's why dog whistles seem to be silent. Dogs hear the high frequency sounds that we can't. High frequency sounds usual travel further than voices and can be heard further away.
Dog trainers use dog whistles to get a dog's attention. Hand signals are often combined with dog whistles. A dog whistle can be made of plastic or metal. Some think different breeds react to different high frequecies. Smaller dogs are more sensitive to higher frequencies compared to larger dogs.
