Model of a Carriage for a 68-Pounder Gun, Model of a carriage on a floorboard representing a part of a deck with a gun gate. The body becomes narrower towards the front. The cross-over between the cheeks consists of a calf, a crossbar in the middle, the soleplate behind and the front axle body, the rear wheels have no axle body but hang in brackets. The cheeks have three steps. Between the ashes and the calf at the front and the soleplate at the rear is a slide on which a brake acts against the molecule, this friction brake consists of an eccentric shaft right through the spout. The shaft has hand spokes at the ends, which can be placed in different positions with spokes in the cheeks, and presses a block against the calf so that the weight of the spout comes onto the shaft that is pressed onto the carriage. The carriage is a wooden frame with a spindle bolt in the gate threshold, at the rear the carriage has two small rollers with their axes radial to the spindle bolt. The model has brass eye bolts and other fittings., anonymous, 1856, wood (plant material), brass (alloy), h 21.7 cm × w 49.5 cm × d 45.8 cm
