A metallurgist would list: base metal (lead), next highest percentage(antimony or tin), second highest percentage (antimony, tin, copper, etc.)
This is different than ferrous based alloys, that use a system of specific chemicals in a specific order.
1 in 20 means "one part of a material in 20 parts total" twenty units of total weight
20 to 1 means "twenty parts of material with one part added" twenty one units of total weight
Lawrence Hard Ball is : 92/6/2. 92% lead, 6% antimony and 2%tin.
I know all of this doesn't make sense, but that is what they standardized on in the 1890's for lead based alloys for the newspaper industry.
Pewter came in three grades: fine 99% tin and 1% copper; trifle was 95% tin and 5% lead; lay was 85% tin and 15% lead. So they were written 99/1, 95/5 and 85/15. But you had to know the basic composition before hand.
