20HP. - STEEL ARTILLERY WHEELS.

With further reference to BY/CGH{W Clough}5/H7726., we send herewith N. scheme 2240., shewing the original balance weight scheme shewn on N. scheme 2048. adapted to the artillery wheels by pressing three bosses equally spaced, with one opposite the valve hole.

This seems to come in quite well, and we think is suitable for both the 20HP. and the 40/50. artillery wheels.
