Subject: Pepperbox definition

   I have a question for museums that have firearms collections and use
Chenhall's Nomenclature to classify their firearms.

How do you define the object name "Pepperbox"?  In reading some general 
gun
literature, I gather that some gun experts define a pepperbox as a 
revolver
with more than one rotating barrel that are fired separately.  Others 
say
that the barrels don't need to revolve, but must be grouped around a 
central
axis.
