- A. Major aspects:
- Do you have access to the 1860-1905 Conways? I don't think so because there's some useful stuff there that this article needs. I'll scan the relevant page for you. Add the diagram from the class article to this one because I couldn't get a feel for her armament layout based on your description. I don't think anybody's ever called a 37 mm gun a machine gun before. Cannon is what I've usually called them. Link armored frigate and hulk. Add ihp to the infobox. Coal-fired or oil-fired? What kind of ironclad was she? Can't think of anything more at the moment.
- Yes, I do have the 1860 Conways, I had just forgotten to look at it when I wrote the article. I've fixed most of what you pointed out. There's no good link to armored frigate though; the best I think there is is Ironclad warship or this short paragraph. Parsecboy (talk) 15:09, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, the short paragraph will do.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:57, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

- I'm certain that the 37-mm guns were Hotchkiss 5-barrel revolving guns, which were not autocannon since they were hand cranked. What kind of steam engines, etc. did she receive when she was modernized? How thick was the armor of the barbettes?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:53, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
- Is there a source for them being Hotchkiss guns? Groner just says "37mm machine cannon." I added the other two. Parsecboy (talk) 02:21, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- Conway's says 37-mm revolving cannon and there's only one producer of those at this time since Nordenfelt, etc, didn't do revolving guns in that caliber.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 04:53, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- Good enough for me. Parsecboy (talk) 14:23, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
