Page 207 of "Firearms Curiosa" by Lewis Winant ,has a side view photograph of the pistol.
The multiple cylinders are held to the the gun by a bar , running through the "cylinder drum" and to the bottom of the revolver's grip.
Joseph Enouy , obtained British patent #1359 in 1855 for this gun.
42 shots.
It is equipped with a revolving framework having an axle fashioned to the grip and to the barrel.
Seven spokes to the wheel , and at the outer end of each spoke is a cylinder , with six chambers.
When one cylinder is empty the framework is turned so a loaded cylinder is in position for firing.*

Its nice to have a library in my house....
