Multishot mechanism for a break action shotgun

I have often wondered if anyone had invented a mechanism like this and how it might work. 

You can pretty much guarantee that whatever quirky and weird firearms related things you might dream up, someone has already thought if it and made one.

Thank you for posting that. I have never seen such a thing. Thank you. In the same sort of device is the automatic loading magazine that could be attached on the side of the action of a Martini Henry in .450/577.

Just love that - what a time to have been a firearms tinkerer, very few restrictions and a whole new field of development opening up at a rapid pace.

How many nights did the designer of this mechanism toss and turn  while sorting out the details in his head?
