HC Deb 15 May 1893 vol 12 c911
MR. HANBURY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the use of cordite in the Maxim gun has been found to injure that gun more rapidly than the powder previously in use?

*MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

It is the case that cordite has been found to wear out the Maxim gun more rapidly than the powder previously in use.
