Mr. Michaelis. It was changed.
Mr. Ball. To what?
Mr. Michaelis. To a 2¼-inch barrel.
Mr. Ball. How did you happen to do that?
Mr. Michaelis. Well, we gave the guns out to Mr. L. M. Johnson and instructed him to make up the guns as far as barrel lengths are concerned to our specifications.
Mr. Ball. Why did you shorten them from 5 to 2¼ inches? Explain to me for the record.
Mr. Michaelis. Because we have quite frequently calls for the Smith & Wesson revolvers with shorter barrels such as 2¼ inch or 4 inch.
Mr. Ball. Did you shorten all of the consignment that you received?
Mr. Michaelis. No.
Mr. Ball. Just a certain number?
