Research notes
This was a Westley Richards development in early 1914. There is a very good ARTICLE that was published by them for the rationale behind the development of this strange cartridge. The 2 original specimens shown are extremely rare, with the bottom specimen a replica that was made for collectors by OPM in South Africa
