Were these Iron or Bronze?

Many Thanks to @Mirek, @Steef66 , @Nomad and @Maarten for your kind comments and all the likes received
@Maarten
based on the information given in Goodwins anatomy book both seems to be made out of bronze, but only based on the contemporary information about their weight
At this time, these bomb vessels had both types in use, either iron and also bronze

and something else, which I wanted to share with you..... @Alexander74 , @Jack Jäger , @Dean62 and all others thinking about the direction of gratings....
Step by step I am sharing with you the opinion about the direction of the battens along the ship......
..... but I found also the information by Peter Goodwin in his Anatomy book about the Granado
This is an older photo, which I made some months ago, so because of this sketch from Goodwin I was not thinking about the grating any more - so maybe Goodwin was also wrong .......

Uwek, good afternoon.
There is no reason not to trust Peter Goodwin, but there are many errors in Ancre's anatomy. About Ancre - these are the reviews of our Russian model builders.
On the other hand, we say: so that there are no questions, do everything according to the drawing. You have Anatomy, there is such a lattice
This book is not published by ancre, it is a Anatomy of ships series book

In the meantime I think, that this information is the most important one - and is making sense
it was an example of errors in other anatomies. Perhaps translation difficulties or I didn’t express my idea correctly
Sorry @Dean62 - I just recognized your question in this older post, which I did not answer until now
Missing on my bell is still the rope, so you can handle the bell from both sides and from the individual decks
This is a small sketch from Volume IV of Boudriots 74-Gun Ship
He is also describing in the same volume the splitting of the day in the shifts and the use of the bell to inform the complete crew on the ship about the time - and special events
This is the book I found these information (I guess on english ships the bell was more or less used in a similar way)

Coming back to the mortars
now sanded polished and prepared for the blackening
I am very happy, that CAF is giving us the possibility to have two different (and historical correct) mortars on the deck

In reality the mortars are not so shiny - it is the effect by the artificial lights in my workshop
Many thanks for your kind interest .... to be continued .....

The look great, Uwe.
Regards, Peter
Up close photos always show the littlest imperfections. These are beautiful - love the carriages!
The cleaning and prep paid off nicely Uwe. The mortars are great looking!
