Here is a British article after the U.S. won the trophy, but before the controversy, on page 363(next page down). I think the British at first "OK'd" the barrels, but not in writing. They got upset after the U.S. had won. I'm surprised they didn't qualify arms before matches instead of having embarrassing moments like this that the U.S. team undoubtedly went through.
