Model of a Gun Carriage

Model of a wheeled carriage. The cross-bracing of the two cheeks is formed by the vertical axle box with breastplate, the sole plate, and a crossbeam in the middle. The cheeks have four steps and an elliptical cutout at the bottom. Under the vertical axle box and sole plate, the axle boxes are suspended in brackets bolted to the cheeks. The wooden wheels are double; the front wheels are slightly larger than the rear wheels to compensate for the deck's slope. The model has brass eye bolts and tappan covers.
