7mm BROADWAY TRUST COMPANY

This was developed by Sir Dennis Burney of ICI, and the Broadway Trust Company was a cover jointly owned by Sir Dennis, ICI and the Ministry of Supply. The cartridge was designed to fire in a recoilless rifle and used extremely long projectiles. There were a number of recoilless weapon developments ranging from small arms to artillery. The company existed from October 1943 to 1948.
