John Lee (inventor) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Lee (inventor)
John Lee was a Scottish-Canadian - Canadian inventor and arms designer, best known for co- inventing a prototype bolt-action rifle with his brother James Paris Lee. The rifle they made led to the Lee–Metford and Lee–Enfield series of rifles. Harrowing from Hawick, Scotland the Lee family emigrated to Ontario in Canada c.1835. After John grew up he moved to a small town along the Sydenham River called Wallaceburg. ==The Lee Rifle's Beginning==
In 1878, Lee and his brother James Paris perfected a rifle with a box magazine in Wallaceburg (). This rifle later became an antecedent to the famous Lee–Enfield rifle. A well trained gunman could fire approximately 15-30 shots a minute. The prototype was tested successfully in Wallaceburg. The rifle, still in exhistence, is housed at the Wallaceburg and District Museum().〔(Chatham-Kent: Lee-Enfield Rifle )〕
