crossedchisles(Mr. Trevallion):
If you are referring to the "Tit-Bit" near the knuckle of the Purdey action, the tit-bit butts against the lower parts of the ejector tumblers forcing them to rotate on their respective axes.
One interesting note on the Brooklyn bridge is that the German immigrant John Roebling, an engineer, experienced a crushed right foot(toes) while on a ferry moving some timbers, within a fortnight, tetanus set in and he died of lock-jaw in a month or so. I'll get the "rest of the story" and the specifics if anyone is interested.
Kind Regards,
Raimey
