Model of a Carriage for a 68-pounder Gun. Model of an affit on a base board that represents a part of a deck with a gun port. The body is narrower forward. The cross band between the cheeks consists of a calf, a crossbar in the middle, the sole plate behind and the front asal; The rear wheels have no axle but hanging in brackets. The cheeks have three stairs. A slide has been applied between the axes and the calf and the sole plate behind, on which a brake works against the recuul; This friction brake consists of an eccentric shaft straight through the affit. 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 coupling comes to the shaft, which is pressed on the carriage. The sled is a wooden frame with a spindle bolt in the gate threshold; The carriage has two small rollers with their axes radially compared to the spindle bolt. The model has brass eye bolts and other fittings.
