I may be wrong but I believe the developer of the Hornet was named Grosvenor Wotkyns who at the time was a member of the Ordnance Department at Benecia Arsenal in California. Inspired by Wotkynss work with the then-new cartridge, Townsend Whelen and a couple of his Army buddies, G. A. Woody and Al Woodworth, decided to convert three Model 1922 Springfield rifles to handle it. HTH Jerry
