Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Application of Machinery to the Manufacture of Rotating Chambered-Breech Fire-Arms, and Their Peculiarities, Vol. 11 The third specimen is a decided advance on the preceding guns. This arm (fig. 3, Plate which was found in the Armoury at the Tower, is furnished with a pyrites wheel lock, and one priming-pan is common to all the six chambers of the revolving breech; this pan is fitted with a sliding cover, and is so arranged that the serrated edge of a vertical wheel may project into it, amongst the loose powder in the pan; to this wheel a rapid rotary motion is given, by means of a trigger spring acting upon a link lever, attached to the arbor of the wheel, the teeth of which, striking upon the pyrites, create the sparks which ignite the priming powder. The fire is then communicated laterally to a train of powder about 21} inches long, before it reaches the charge In the breech, and which train of powder and priming require to be renewed each time before the charge' m the adjoining chambers can be exploded. A stop-pin is made to enter the orifices' In the wheel, to stay its action until the proper time, and on pulling the trigger the firing Is effected. In this instance, also, the breech is rotated by hand, and the barrel and breech are brought into contact by a nut working upon the threaded end of the breech arbor. By the employment of one priming-pan for all the chambers, and from the apparent necessity for closing the rear end of the breech with a cap, so as to leave but one small Opening for the passage of the fire, from the priming-pan to the breech, the liability of the several chambers to be simultaneously fired was greatly increased; for the cap, which covers the rear end of the breech, prevents the escape of the fire laterally, and forms, in fact, a channel for guiding the deflected fire to the touch-holes of all the charges. This gun has no stock in front of the breech; but unlike the previous specimens, the barrel is cut away on each side, so as to allow the balls to escape in case Of premature Oxplosion. A pistol of nearly identical construction (fig. 4, Plate 1) is in the collection at the Rotunda, at Woolwich.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sporting Guns and Gunpowders, Vol. 1: Comprising a Selection From Reports of Experiments, and Other Articles Published in the "Field" Newspaper, Relative to Fire Arms and Explosives Mr. Walsh was better known to the general public by his nom de plume of Stonehenge. Before he became editor of the Field he had published (in 1856) his volume on British Rural Sports, which has since passed through seventeen editions. In this work he gave particulars of the breech loaders then coming into vogue, and inserted fuller details in his book on The Shot Gun and Sporting Rifle (published in Vol. I. Of The Modern Sportsman's Gun and Rifle (which appeared in 1882) was devoted to game and wildiowl guns; and Vol. II. (published in 1884) treated of sporting and match rifles, together with revolvers. His other works include The Horse in the Stable nd the Field (12th edit 1887) Dogs of the British Islands (5th edit 1888) The Dog in Health and Disease, and The Greyhound. A Treatise on Breeding and Training of Greyhounds for Public Cour-sing. He was aho the author of books on domestic economy and domestic medicine, and e inventor of various contrivances in connection with guns, tricycles, ac.penetration of the shot; and these pads continued to be used for nearly twenty years, up to the trial of cylinder and choke bore guns with nitro and black powders in 1878. In 1879, however, the paper pads gave way to Mr. Walsh's force gauge, with which the trial of 12, 16, and 20-bore guns was carried out. In 1884 he had hollow leaden cylinders made to serve as the artificial breech end of a gunbarrel, whereby to test the explosive force of gunpowders, and ascertain what sfiects were produced by undue drying of the powders. Since Mr. Walsh's death, other instruments and improvements upon his original constructions have been introduced; and some of the results of experiments made with the various kinds of apparatus are given in subsequent pages, together with occasional remarks tending to show the bearing of one set of experiments upon another series.
