Does anyone have any photos or drawings of the percussion caps and propelling charge used in the Northover Projector ?

Is this any good?

Just bumped this because I have found a tin for the caps with label but empty. Can anyone tell me the size of No. 110 percussion caps, I presume they were very small ?
Still looking for a propelling charge, must be one going spare out there ?
