Making Cannon

[-Waldemar-]

Much can be commented on these two rather hefty volumes (I have a slightly different publishing configuration), but it is best to go to the library to see them in person first, as there are, apart from the text itself, indeed a great many illustrations in a rather eclectic selection, both on armament and the ships themselves, mostly reproductions from sources (and many of them quite rarely reproduced indeed), which is of course an advantage for someone without access to these sources.

Metadata of ‘my’ publishing configuration:

My first major resin 3D project were pivot guns for my Constellation which led to making other naval guns from the 1840's on



And printed...


I've got 19 3D models of guns pre-Civil War to just after available to download as STLs on Thingiverse, with more in the works...

Hi, I should point out that this is not the first version that well different from the first, said by the person who bought it.Frank

Maybe it is me and the translations, but my original problem was finding the lengths of the carriage brackets for a given gun length and I cannot find this information in any of the sources above, thus far. A guess at the difference would work in the end at our common scales, but I would feel much more comfortable having actual data based on contemporary sources if it exists. Barring contemporary based information I have been using a ratio. For example if the gun is a 9.0 foot 24 pounder and the brackets on the chart call for 69.46", a 9.5 foot gun would have (9.5/9)X69.46 = 73.3" long brackets. This may be totally wrong, but barring better information I hope this makes some sort of sense.

Thanks again for all the input, there is some very useful information especially for guns other than English.

Allan, good afternoon. We have Ilyin's book, "Practical Naval Artillery", 1841. Here is a table of gun mount sizes depending on caliber. I understand that this is not the English fleet, but I think these parameters can be used for understanding.

Here's one for €20 plus shipping.
