WW1 British bomb - correct name?

[Jungly45]

Could anyone help out please with the correct name of a 20 lb air dropped store developed for the RNAS?

Was it the HALE bomb or the HALES bomb?

Sources differ !

Many thanks.

HALE after F M Hale the designer/inventor, proper designation is BOMB, HE, Hale, 20lb, Mark I

Of course Hale's bomb is correct too.
