I am aware that you understand these and other lock systems infinitely more than i do. I am just pondering on the reason why the original authors of this system called it "fecho de molinhas" (muellecitos, little springs), pretending to distinguish it from other mechanisms of this period.

Dear namesake

My words were not to question your words, but to establish the right. Sometimes you find drawings or diagrams that have been made by people who know little of the subject, or are wrong. It happens that sometimes (for me the majority) one does not have the mechanism in the hands, and must be guided by photographs (incomplete) or by designs, especially in old weapons

A hug. Fernando K
