Description (What the record is about)
-
John Clevland. The Captains of the guardships, gunners and Commissioners of Chatham, Portsmouth and Plymouth have reported on the experiment into the conveyance of light into the powder room. We have considered the proposed alterations relating to the contrivances on the Somerset, Anson and Vanguard and recommend the use of the contrivances without the alterations. If the lanthorns on those ships are brought within 2' of the sashes fitted at the mouth of the tubes sufficient light will be available and there should be 2 candles for 70-44 gun ships and 3 candles for larger classes
