The chain gun was created to address the problem of traditional auto-cannons that if a round misfires or is defective, there isn't sufficient recoil to clear the shell and reload the gun and the gun jams. Chain guns use a separate motor to pull the ammunitionbelt through the gun breech. If a shell doesn't fire, the motor pulls the round out and loads a new one as though it had fired, preventing the jam which would occur otherwise. Jamming can still occur with chain guns, but is less frequent than with recoil loading automatic weapons, however the rate of fire is lower. Research Chain Gun
The Gevarm SMG is a French blowback operated selective fire sub-machine-gun designed for use in a range of climates with the minimum of maintenance. The Gevarm SMG has a reputation as being reliable, with jams occurring very infrequently and then only due to faulty rounds. The Gevarm SMG is chambered for the 9 mm Parabellum cartridge which it takes from a 32-round box magazine and fires at a cyclic rate of 600 rounds per minute. The Gevarm SMG has a retractable stock and a flip rearsight. Research Gevarm SMG
Pectin is the name given to any of a group of complex carbohydrate derivatives produced in plants.
Pectins are white amorphous substances that yield a viscous solution with water; when combined in the proper proportions with sugar and acids, they form a gelatinous substance that is the thickening agent in fruit jams. Commercial pectin, obtained from apples or lemons, is used in preparing jam from fruits deficient in pectin. Research Pectin

High tea was formerly the meal served with cold meats, vegetables, and pastry in substitution for dinner. In 1893 the Daily Telegraph carried a description of a high tea thus:

The side dishes will comprise soused mackerel, pickled salmon (in due season), sausages, potatoes etc, etc. Rivers of tea, coffee and ale with dry and buttered toast, sally-lunns, scones, muffins and crumpets, jams and marmalade.
