Austin was meticulous in his plotting of the measurements of chambers, bores and chokes he measured. Here he supports his findings of forcing cones and chokes having been cut to an Ogee.
I took these picture of some of the pages in his notebook. You'll notice that most of them are identified with serial numbers and some are right into the 1920's.
