I thought you guys would appreciate them.

Frustratingly enough I am not able to see them on my Mac; I only get gibberish.
Have to borrow my wife's Windows based laptop, but she is using it for now.

I did see (page 10 of the 1890 Catalogue I think) the testing that was done to the barrels -powder and shot charges- interesting sizes of both to say the least.

The catalogues belong to the St. Etienne library, from what I could see.
