"The Snider magazine was for stowing small arms ammunition and other things, such as lights, rockets, fuses and so on."
Torpedo Accident Report,
The name comes from the Snider rifles with which Cerberus was originally equipped. These were sold in 1875 and were replaced with Martini Henry rifles.
By 1890 the Snider Magazine had come to be known as the Small-Arm Magazine.
