And what does the rest of the article say? Any more tidbits like this?
Thanks for sharing.

That is the entire note. The articles are very much longer in that journal but there would be several pages of trade news and other shorter pieces.
These old magazines are quite interesting but do take time to wade through and I have to go up to London and the British Library to read them.
Something else I came across yesterday was this, a photograph of Major Gerald Burrard. I snapped it since I have his books but no image of him. The article, which I did not copy, was about trialling a new .303 round on the private Canon Frome estate long range, which went to 1,400 yards. More info here:

There were only 15 points difference between all four rifle shots over that two day period. Pretty impressive. Anyway, that's what old Gerald looked like!
