Model of a Slide and Carriage for a 30-pounder carronade. Model of an upper and lower cover for a 30-pound carronade, incomplete. The top piece has a slightly trapez-shaped body with brass attachment and rings, the front and back are rounded. Against the back the baking koker in brass batter and on top of the rail for the elevation screw, on the front the ears with tapas and the eddy bolt at the bottom. With a flat rectangular head, the swirl bolt runs through the slot of the underled. The underled is a wooden window rounded at the front, partly with brass caps and equipped with a spindle bolt; Slightly backwards a locking plate is applied to the underside, with which the slide in the longitudinal direction was guaranteed against the shipboard. On the back the underled widens and a little has been completed. In the middle and rear, the window is supported by bobbins with wheels: the wheels in the middle run in the longitudinal direction; The wheels are behind with their axes radially compared to the spindle bolt.
