Notes:

Explores the relationship between the Admiralty and armaments manufacturers in the design and manufacture of naval materials so that a position of inter-dependency, one party upon the other, was reached during the latter part of the 19th century (although the study extends to the interwar years). Deals with materials such as engines, boilers, guns, shells and armour, torpedoes, etc
