Recent edits, 29 January - 04 February 2008
[edit]I recently added new material and rearranged text.
I did remove the comment added 01:55 26 April 2006 that “Train whistles originated around 1832 by way of a musical instrument designer” for insofar as I could determine that applies to the steam trumpet rather than the steam whistle.
I rewrote the section on the toroidal whistle that had been added 17:27 07 July 2006, as it had not met the standard for verifiability, and placed it in a section titled “the loudest whistle.”

Live steam?
[edit]In the introduction it is stated that live steam is used. While this is probably correct terminology, the topic covered by the link is not as appropriate. If it is possible to use alternative wording (such as 'steam under pressure') then this might be a good idea. Otherwise, perhaps some additional commentary could be added to live steam to describe the usage of the term used here? EdJogg (talk) 10:15, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- The live steam article has been changed since I added the link here. I'll insert the original definition at the beginning of that article. --Janke | Talk 18:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- That's much better, thank you! EdJogg (talk) 23:28, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Passive voice of συρίζω (whistle-blow)
[edit]- Η ατμοσφυρίχτρα συρίζεται απ' τον τρενοδηγό.
- The steam whistle is blown/hissed by the train driver. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:4105:ACB9:F5B6:CB4:444E:C07D (talk) 17:48, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
