Snap tinder lock mechanism

Wheellock,
If you search using "Tinderlock" or "Snaplock,....snapping matchlock, or Arquebus" you will get swamped in Michael's old threads and photos.

Michael had one of the earliest known snap-locks, and found in these pages with detailed photos.
Can I ask why you seek the workings for such a lock?
I ask, as building such arms is of great interest to me, as time permits!

Best,
Richard.
