Yeah, it's an era I wouldn't really associate with a lot of experimentation, more just trying to emulate the west, though I don't really know a whole lot about the Qing in the 18th century, so I don't know how useful something like this might've been. If there aren't really a lot of them and they aren't written about much, it's probably a sign that they weren't really useful beyond some niche cases.
