This video provides an in-depth look at the Whitney-Beals Walking Beam Pocket Revolver, a fascinating piece of firearms history. The description highlights its unique design, which cleverly bypassed Colt's indexing patent by using the trigger mechanism to rotate the cylinder, with the hammer cocked separately. Manufactured by Eli Whitney, this revolver is known for its "walking beam" or "walking lever" action, a mechanism that converts linear to rotational motion. The video also touches upon Fordyce Beals' later work with Remington, including his significant contribution to the Remington 1858 Army revolver. The content is rich with historical context and technical details relevant to firearm enthusiasts.
