The detachable forejiart of the carriage is calledthe limber. It carries a chest for containing ammu-nition, n|ion which the cannoniers sit.

A caisson for carrying ammunition accompanieseach field-piece. This vehicle has a limlier similarto that of the gun-carriage. Its rear jinrt, or body,carries two ammunition-chests, the three, with thaton the carriage-limber, containing the full sujiply ofammunition for the piece. Eacli field-battery of four or more ]iieces is alsoaccompanied by a travdiiuj-forijc and a GUN-CARRIAGE. 1035 which contain the necessary tools and materials forordinary ripairs.
