2. Ethan Allen (armsmaker) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Allen_(armsmaker)

   Unfortunately, the patent holder Rollin White, had sold exclusive rights to this innovation to Smith and Wesson, preventing other companies from making firearms leveraging the bored-through cylinder. This legal constraint proved no barrier to Ethan Allen, who made two different rimfire revolvers that hit the market possibly as early as 1857 ...

3. Rack and pinion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion

   A rack and pinion has roughly the same purpose as a worm gear with a rack replacing the gear, in that both convert torque to linear force. However the rack and pinion generally provides higher linear speed — since a full turn of the pinion displaces the rack by an amount equal to the pinion's pitch circle whereas a full rotation of the worm screw only displaces the rack by one tooth width.

   Rim lock is where the rim of the shell casing gets caught on the extractor groove of the casing underneath it. It is a common issue for calibers with large rims, such as 7.62×54mmR , or guns that have been rechambered for cartridges shorter than intended without replacing the original magazine with one that compensates for the shorter round.
