I have always liked the 1851 type load lever rather than the 1860/1861 "creeping" load lever as I have always felt that one of the "teeth" could break off at some point during operation of it.

There is a lot of info in that book and the section on the formation of Navy Arms, born of Service Armament Company is very interesting.
