The ham-mer is then driven forward by springs, striking all thefiring-pins at once. The baiTels can be dischargedin succession by means of the crank shown at theside of the breech. This crank rotates a tappet orcam-wheel arranged to retract and release all thefiring-pins in succession. The barrels are arranged MITTEN. 1456 MOCK SILVER.
