Hello,
I am looking for the detailed plan of the carriage of an English 9-pounder iron gun, 7 feet long.
I consulted several books but I did not find a detailed plan.
For the moment, I could not find Volume II (1997) of Adrian Caruana's books in a library: The History of English Sea Ordnance. Do you know if this book contains this type of plan?
Thanks for your precisions.

John Robertson gave me the solution in his 1775 book...
