Nitro:
Well, after looking at these journal entries yet again I find the W&R mentioned in the notations to the left of the Guard No column. It appears to read 2 - 16 Bore W&R 7th Steel N.P. L.C. Non Ejectors GPB 16.10 MA/M/R W of 2989 (Maybe 298g). I understand all of this but the MA/MR/R - I think.
Still curious about the R. B.T.B. 7th Gun entered in the description column.
15 of the 24 guns were finished by W&S, and all have an entry in the "Barrel or Maker's No" column. On my gun this # can by found on the bottom of the barrels.
Of interest all of the A&D 20's and 28's were finished by Osbourne.
Roy:
I never thought about shell sales to give a flavor for the number of small bores. I knew there were relatively few of them made.
Thanks for all the responses, this has been educational.
