Five Models of Guns on Slides and Pivots of a Coastal Battery, Five models of guns on turn slides, of a coastal battery, one of which is incomplete. The slides consist of a rectangular frame with brass fittings, the beams in the longitudinal direction with upward ends, lying on a long crossbar in the middle, the spindle bolt is fitted in the middle of this crossbar. By screwing it through the beam, the spout is lifted onto the spindle bolt. The frames have wheels at the corners and ends of the crossbar, the axes of which are radial to the spindle bolt. The upper chaffs consist of two cheeks with three steps connected by a sloping calf, a crossbar, the soleplate and three bolts across. The adjusting wedge has been replaced by a spring screw with a metal spring. The axle struts have been replaced by round axes through the cheeks, which slide over the carriage: the front axle has holes for hand spokes, with which the spout is brought forward again. The wooden barrels have an average length of 22.5 cm and a caliber of 9.5 mm., anonymous, Netherlands (possibly), c. 1800 - c. 1850, wood (plant material), brass (alloy), h 12 cm (average) × w 25.5 cm (average) × d 24 cm (average)
