Model of a 16 cm Gun on a Pivot and Slide on Part of a Gun Deck, Model of a drawn front loader on a turn and slide carriage on part of a ship deck. The brass barrel, 34 cm long and with a caliber of 16 mm, thickened at the tap piece and again behind it, no jewelery bands except the breech band. The soul is drawn with six grooves. The pants are in the neck of the grape and are locked with a bracket. The piece has a percussion slot 1, where the lock support protrudes behind the breech band, where an attachment can be attached. The upper chaff consists of two cheeks, two axle blocks without wheels, a sloping calf and a braking device. The elevation is done by means of a spring screw on the rear axle block. The braking device, attached to the front axle block, consists of a clamp around the runners of the carriage, which is tightened with a screw. The carriage has four rollers against the short sides of the cheeks, which only move over the runners of the carriage when the rear pair of rollers are pressed down by means of a lever and which allows the carriage to move freely over the carriage. The carriage consists of two shelves, a lower bearing in the middle, a calf, and two cross members with which the carriage moves over the turning circles in the deck. The carriage has an eye in front and behind, which are laid over the pivot bolts in the deck. The floorboard of the model represents the upper deck of a ship. Cage overhang has been placed on the edges. There is a gate in each side, consisting of three gate parts that fold out after the cage extension has been removed. The piece can therefore fire on two sides. Hatch heads are shown schematically in front of and behind the cannon.
