so, step by step — I know it is mudane but let's trudge thru…
A tube shaped whistle comes in from the posta office..
1) unpackage and look for damage — amazing what gets thru from those well angled pictures….
2) Clean outside with a brass wire brush
3) Clean inside using dental tools, tweezers, etc to get the dirt out and any LARGE balls of lint !!!!
4) Measure the length and width
5) compare to others — carefully as it is easy to overlook inportant details of inside manufacturing. Try to identify manufacturer. Dates etc
6) record everything.
7) take pictures ( plural )
8) cut and crop pictures
9) put in appropriate files for easy retrieval
10) Store whistle itself
Whew , rest. —If you are really into whistles like us we do this in groups and when time is allowable. Typical day off right ??
