Stop me if I'm wrong, but I just read an interesting article about the Knox form. Apparently, according to this article, it was actually names Nock's Form, after a family of 1800 and 1900th century of London gun makers called Nock.

And also the famed inventor of the lump on the barrel reinforce to allow a clamp to get purchase, the Nock's form. Knox is a different dude. His claim to fame is that they named a fort after him
