Hi Cornelis,

Thank you so much for this contribution.

The ingnition system based on the internal vents/touchholes reminds me instantly of the superimposed load principle dealt with at large by Colonel D.R. Baxter: Superimposed Load Firearms 1360-1860, Hong Kong, 1966, which has doubtlessly remained the final word on the subject.

Best,
Michael
