William Trulock/ William Trulock & Son
A classic case of advertising going wrong!! The compositor having entered 125 instead of the correct 152 Capel Street. This error being corrected by December of the same year.
Interestingly, WilliamTrulock having transferred his business from 10 Little Britain Street in 1822 was now exploiting the new Percussion System which included producing their own percussion caps. Following this move the company soon became Trulock & Son as can be seen from this advert of 20th August 1823. In addition,in the December they were advertising " an improvement in Detonating Guns" for which they had entered a Caveat in the Patent Office.
Anyone with snippets of information on the Trulock gunmaking dynasty please feel free to contact us.
