Model of a 60-Pounder Carronade on a Slide

Model of a 60-pound carronade with trunnions, on a sliding sledge for a coastal battery, with two forewagons. The 51 cm long barrel has a caliber of 50 mm, a simple touchhole in the highest decorative band, and a flat solid cascabel, under which the elevating screw is mounted in the sole plate. The carriage consists of two parallel cheeks, connected by a small axle box, two heavy crossbeams, and the sole plate. The sledge consists of two parallel beams under the cheeks, connected by a crossbeam in front and two at the rear, between which two wheels with their axes radial to the pintle bolt are located. The carriage is held on the sledge by two brackets. Two forewagons are added to the model, one for the front, one for the rear: the wheels are missing. They can rotate and must be moved by manpower. Scale 1:4 (derived).
