Here is a list of all of the major articles and features which you will find in the new issue, number 122.

1. Our "What the Heck Is It?" contest. Here's a new one for you. The last one was somewhat of a challenge. This one may be a little more challenging!

2. Low pressure tooting. Here Harry Barry gives you more information on this most useful topic, namely; how do you hear your favorite steam whistles when you don;t have either access to high pressure steam or a sufficient air compressor/receiver to sound them adequately?

3. The Marketplace. What's been happening in the signal device selling community? Intrepid H&W market guruEAF tells you this important information.

4. The Horn Doctor. Here Ken Kanne, our horn editor and resident horn restoration expert shows you in this two part article his complete repair and restoration of two M3 horns.

5. The E. P. Allis Steam Pumping Station engine. Here's a second preview of a fortunate event. A beautiful large steam engine in a water works pumping station is being preserved as the plant is converted to a museum. This historically important plant will, by next year, become a public waterworks museum where its three very impressive steam engines will be on public display.

6. Death of an Industrial Plant. I started out on a whistle-collecting adventure, hoping against all odds to find a steam whistle on the plant's boiler house. I did not find a whistle, but what I did find is a very sad portent of things to come unless we make a few changes in the way we deal with manufacturing in the USA.

7. Marine Whistles; Demonstrating Whistles. These two short articles by Harry Barry are both interesting and, especially the latter, helpful. Demonstrating a whistle at one of our events is almost like performing on stage. Will the "star" of your performance put on a great show or will it be a flop? Read this article if you plan to bring a steam whistle or air horn to one of our major whistle/horn blow events.

Don't forget, get H&W on-line instead of paper. Why pay more for a paper hard-copy of Horn & Whistle, when for less than half the cost of a paper subscription, you can get a subscription to our new Ezine version of H&W. Less expensive, updated regularly, and often additional content. These are just a few of the important reasons why getting H&W on-line is better than buying it as a paper hardcopy.
