the Agony and the Ecstasy written about Michelangelo might be a far stretch about whistle research. After all it isn’t art we are creating is it ??
However the title fits !!
Yeah, searching is great when it pays off, but miserable when it fails to produce.
For example, been trying to find for years anything on the plural whistle PATENT 10828 by Bent and Parker dated 1894 ( Gilchrist )
We have the whistle with the actual stamp on it and still can’t find it !!! Argh !!!
Perhaps it was just stamped on it and they called it ‘protected’. More likely a patent was taken out and then it wasn’t followed through on and dropped. Otherwise how would Gilchrist have been able to date it to 1894 ??
In the USA all patents are relatively easy because of Google patents — great to look through !!!
However, for us dummies ( like myself ) searching UK patents presents a challenge….
I know….’just keep swimming’, ‘just keep swimming’…..
