Many years ago, I read about a gunsmith in the flintlock era who built an experimental air compression ignition system for MLs. The book said percussion ignition was developed shortly after and the heated air idea was dropped and forgotten.
I can't remember the original source, and after many web searches have never found a single reference to it. Does anyone know about this design or the gunsmith who invented it?
