Abridged Treatise’ on the construction and manufacture of ordnance in the British Service 1877, London, HMSO.

Any idea where I might find a copy?

If you want an original copy, then I can't help, but it's available online.

Thanks, I found that and a print on demand copy also.  It took a while the connection to archive.org kept timing out. Now its down for maintenance.

A few years ago I found a company in England that was reprinting many of the old manuels  I saved it on the home computer which is no longer conected to the internet .... I did pass the info on to M&T you might check with them and see if they still have or know about it......

I finally was able to access  http://archive.org/details/abridgedtreatis00offigoog on line this morning.  If you want to learn how Cannon were constructed, you need to read this treatise. 

It full of information that we can use to build our own guns.  You guys need to take the time to look this one over.
