Dear Steve
Thanks very much. I have been looking for some plans for the 18th century pieces and sorting out the lineage of the Russian guns. Clearly shows the change in construction in 1796 with the introduction of the horizontal boring machine by Gascoigne formally of the Carron Foundry in Scotland. The simplification of lines and dolphins so characteristic of the M1805 system. Also a fuller explanation of the Shuvalov secret howitzer. Stephen |

I have two (2) Russian artillery manuals from the SYW era and the 1790s that contail drawings and measurements. Have you looked at the Russian Brandenburg catalogs (1890s) of the Russian Artillery Museum? Big Al |

Dear Steve
Thanks for this. I have the M1805 plans from St Petersburg obtained by a colleague but not earlier plans of the Russian Systems. Stephen |
