The history on p.54 has been updated with all the extra information from above. It's gotten really long...35-40 pages now if it were printed out..and it goes into detail - probably too much for a book - re arguments for and against on controversial sections. That'll be whittled down in the final draft for publishers but, in view of the fact that this study is calling into question embedded preconceptions, I felt this detail was needed. It is still a good read and as a side benefit will acquaint a reader with a cursory outline of the history of UK gunmaking in the 19th century. It will be refined as other information becomes available of course.

Thanks to this board for the help including the criticism (which provoked and forced a doubledown on some research elements that never would have been looked at) and professional/peer review (likewise)...without which a lot of this data would not have come to light.
