The hand or pawl which rotates the cylinder has two working points to en-gage the cylinder-ratchet, and, by an ingenious construction, this pawl also serves as cylinder-bolt, and positively prevents any further rotation after one of the chambers in the cylindercoincides with the bore of the barrel. The cylinder-latch prevents its backward are advised that it was the feature of the jointl
