Whistle (satirical application)

"Whistle". Collection of literary, magazine and other notes.- a satirical supplement to the Sovremennik magazine, undertaken in 1858 by N. A. Dobrolyubov and N. A. Nekrasov. The application consisted of humorous literary works and critical articles and notes. It also regularly published cartoons.

Since the publishers of Sovremennik were unable to obtain censorship permission to publish a separate illustrated satirical newspaper, Whistle was published within Sovremennik and was a kind of “magazine within a magazine.” The first issue of "Whistle" was published in January 1859 ("Contemporary", No. 1), the last - in April 1863.

In addition to Dobrolyubov and Nekrasov, in “Whistle” in different time participated N. G. Chernyshevsky, M. I. Mikhailov, I. I. Panaev, M. A. Antonovich, V. P. Burenin, M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin, A. K. Tolstoy, A. M. and V. M. Zhemchuzhnikovs and other writers and critics. In the “Whistle” program, Dobrolyubov outlined the main task of the publication: “to discover and ridicule the bad and funny everywhere and in everything, without any fear of compromising good side subject."

Contemporaries treated The Whistle differently; Dobrolyubov was accused of “pandemonium” - mockery of authorities and an overly sarcastic polemical tone. A year and a half after Dobrolyubov’s death, the publication of “Whistle” ceased; a total of 9 issues were published. In 1981, a complete re-publication of all numbers of the supplement in the “Literary Monuments” series was carried out “in their first printed form,” without reconstructing censorship changes and taking into account the author’s edits.

Oars were used, and the speed and maneuverability of the ship depended both on the number of oarsmen and on their coordinated work. To make the rowing process rhythmic, special sound signals were given. Flutes and gongs were used for this. With the development of the sailing fleet, another device appeared, which went down in the history of navigation as the boatswain's whistle.

Origin of the device

In the thirteenth century, the crusaders used special pipes to assemble a crew on the deck of a ship. This device is also mentioned in Shakespeare’s ode “Tempest” as a symbol and attribute of supreme power. In Great Britain, the golden pipe was reserved for the Lord Admiral as the most senior rank. English admirals used similar silver wind products. With the development of the British fleet, the king formulated requirements for pipes, according to which the boatswain's whistle, made of gold, had to weigh one ounce (28.35 g), and the neck chain on which the device was worn should not weigh more than one gold ducat (3.4 g).

Modern product design

Today, the devices used in England are similar in design to the pipe taken from the neck of the Scottish pirate Andrew Barton. Before his capture, various boatswain's whistles were used on English ships.

The product is a flat nickel-plated box. Its end looks like a hollow ball into which a little bent tube. It is worn around the neck on special nickel chains.

What is the name of the boatswain's whistle today?

Crossword puzzle enthusiasts are often concerned about this issue. In the history of the British Navy, the trophy became a symbol of victory over the famous Scottish pirate, and the whistles themselves are now officially called Barton pipes.

Boatswain's whistle in Russia

For the first time, Barton-type pipes began to be used in the Russian Navy during the reign of Tsar Peter I. The whistles were intended for junior naval ranks: non-commissioned officers and boatswains. In 1925, the Rules for Wearing Uniforms and Clothes were approved for military personnel of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Fleet. According to this document, Barton-type pipes were introduced into the equipment of the Russian Navy. Since 1930, they have become integral elements of the uniform of ceremonial crews. Later, the boatswain's whistle received a new name - "signal pipe" - and began to be used by boatswains, combat foremen, as well as Red Navy men keeping watch on the upper deck.

In the years Soviet Union Boatswain's whistles were manufactured at the Moscow Musical Wind Instruments Factory, as well as at the Kiev Factory No. 37. Each pipe was equipped with the mark “MZDI” or the number “37”.

Wearing rules

According to the Rules for military personnel of the RKKF approved in 1925, boatswain's whistles were worn as follows:

  • On pea coats or overcoats, signal pipes were hung on the right side of the second button loop.
  • If the serviceman was wearing a shirt (flannel, uniform or work shirt), then the pipe should be attached to the edge of the collar.
  • When using a gas mask, the signal pipe chain had to be positioned so that it overlapped its shoulder strap.

Signaling

According to Order No. 64, issued in 1948 by the Commander-in-Chief of the USSR Navy, the document “Signals on the Sea Pipe” was put into effect, which outlined how to properly blow the boatswain’s whistle. Since that time, the pipe has been considered a means of internal communication, designed for sixteen melodies. Each of them is a signal to action. Giving a signal using a pipe is considered a real art. To make the correct sound, the boatswain's whistle should be held in the palm of your hand. right hand, pressing his ball with half-bent fingers.

Then you need to blow the whistle, while moving your fingers. Depending on the overlap of the holes in the ball, melodies of various tones are created. They can be both soft and deep, and piercingly sharp.

They study the signals of boatswain's pipes using graphic images that are very similar to musical notation. But in the case of signal pipes, not a five-line, but a three-line frame is used.

Conclusion

Nowadays, boatswain's whistles, as before, are used by junior officers on watch or duty duty on the upper decks. As evidenced by the reviews of sailors, today it is increasingly rare to hear the sound of a boatswain's whistle. Now it is a common accessory, representing one of the integral elements of the duty and watch uniform.
