Joseph Hudson a farm worker from Derbyshire moved to the city of Birmingham, like so many during the Industrial Revolution, and trained as a toolmaker.He was commissioned in 1883 by The London Metropolitan Police for an idea to replace the policeman’s rattle a cumbersome means of communication for the bobby on his “beat” (the name given to his patrol).The police tested his whistle on Clapham Common and were delighted when it was clearly heard just over a mile (1.6Km) distance.The rest is history. By the year 2000 sales had reached big numbers.The Acme Thunderer alone had sold over 200 million to 119 countries.
