- the nature 'of it consists in putting in the breech a vibrating half-cylinder or a semi-revolving Icylinder, by turning which the powder, ball, and priming are admitted into the I chamber.
- the vibrating half-cylinder (See annexed draft No. 18:) This is inclosed in a case, A, No. 12, and 1, 15, and A, No. 13,- through which there are holes for the balls, powder, and priming.
- the half-cylinder fits close into the case. powder, balls,and priming, and thetouclrhole, in which the hammer strikes.
- the chamber is bored close to the outer edge or entirely out.
- the handle is on the right side and extends out about an inch anda quarter. This case, as seen, No. 13, V, extends back in the former a strap, and is fitted into the stock and secured to another strap on the bottom side of the stock.
- the spindle K is about half an inch in diameter. It is the point or journal upon which the vibrating half-cylinder turns, the hole being in the center of the circumference of the vibrating halfcylinder seen at Y, Nos.”
- This spindle is made fast to the back end of the case, as seen at 12.
- a cap is put into the outer end of the case
- the magazines T U are fitted upon the top of the case. That for the powder should be cup-shaped. (SeeNo 11.) Aspiral tube passes round it to contain the ball. That for the priming is a tube passing down through the powin the top of it there are holes for the that there will be no da'ngerof explosion.
- FIG. 1 a view the gun upon this plan.
- the outside cylinder (A, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4:) This is secured to the stock by a strap, Z, on the left-hand side, and on the top the magazine for the halls, powder,-and priming, as seen at T U, No. I, placed on the right-hand side at top, and braced or otherwise permanently secured.
- This cylinder is bored out somewhat conically from the back end on the right side, forming a hole large enough to receive the inside cylinder, which is ground in so closely hole in the outside cylinder does not pass through the same size, but a jog is cut at the end. (see No. 2,) against whichthe end of the inside cylinder rests. The remainder of the hole is of the size of the bore of the rifle, and
- the end of the outside cylinder has a screw upon the outside, on which the barrelis screwed.
- This outside cylinder is secured to the stock by three screws passing through the strap Z and the stock to the strap on the left side.
- a strap havin g a plate on the fore end, which passes down,
- a strap is also on the under side, to which the trigger and This very narrow, from one end to the other.
- the inside cylinder, (B, 5, 6, 7 annexed draft:) This has a handle attached to the back end. It is bored out eccentrically -that is, the chamber-is bored so much on one side, D, No. 10, that,it-will cut out and leave a'slot, The holes for charging are-cut through this thin part, (No. 5.)
- the touch-hole is through the thick part opposite, that part being left thick and strong to render .the gun safe from explosion, it being opposite the magazine.
- the object of having the chamber bored upon one side is to inake it so thin where the balls and powder enter that the inside cylinder will not catch upon the following ball and to leave it open, so that when the inside cylinder becomes heated with frequent firing it will-not become tight by the expansion.
- the handle is about an inch and a quarter in ,length. It is thin and broad where it passes in the slot and thicker and larger outside.
