Franc Otte:
And you have the other set of Toledo tubes. I have to make better notes. I can tell you a little more about Toledo Steel Works than I can Drawn Steel Company. John Henry Andrews had an electro-plating business from the 1860 till the 1920s. His mark was "Toledo" surmounted by "hand & sabre". In the late 1800s the John Henry Andrews Toledo Steel Works in Sheffield(Neepsend Works?)(1892-1926-1 source) made crucible steel and convinced America to buy the steel for the Brooklyn Bridge from his firm. I read one souce that noted he used the Bessemer process, Bessemer-Mushets, or some modified Bessemer to make his crucible steel.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

Gentlemen, Isn't this DB/Gunshop"The tits"...So much to learn, so little time! (By the way a 'tit' on a Purdey S/O Beesley
Action is located....Where?.). This is pure JP&S Workshop slang. I have been asked what type of Action the 2 Chapu guns had.. Both were Top Quality Side-Locks,Gold washed all inside parts....cc/dt

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, I think we may be talking about the same part on the action. Its real name is the "Drop" made fitted & regulated by the Ejectorman. It regulates the "drop" of the Barrels when the top-lever is opened. I will talk to Rev Drew to see if he would be kind enough to post a couple of "Pics" for me .I have just replaced and modified 2 JP&S 12b...cc/dt

crossedchisles(Mr. Trevallion):
Would it be the lower projection on the action with the upper projection being the "Cross Bar"(fastened to the knuckle)? You've asked the question at a most opportune time as I'm trying to wade thru "The Modern Shotgun" by Major Sir Burrard and I'm in the "Special Actions" chapter.
Kind Regards,
Raimey
