limits ensuring safety, and the pattern approved for future manufacture

know that no more would be manufactured. (Applause.) He hoped, 
therefore, he had shewn, with regard to the chilled shot at present in 
the service, that they were not all fairly represented by those in 
question; and with reference to those which would be manufactured 
for the future, that they stood altogether on different ground, for they 
would have their bodies cast in sand; and this, it was confidently hoped, 
would fully meet the difficulty. (Applause.) 
Colonel Adye thanked the lecturer for his explanations, and the 
proceedings terminated.
