Who knew? A feeding-head or dead-head was cast on top of the piece either in a separate mould attached to the barrel mould or in an extension of it. … Once cool, the casting was taken from the pit, the mould broken off, the barrel deburred and smoothed, and the dead-head cut off. (Page 17) |

Read though the text, appendix are the last 200 pages. 163 carriages 228 Field service Limber 261 Gin 273 gunpowder 288 Guage of guns 308 Carcass round 359 slow match 375 sight What a good find, also well covers where the topic went after the Napoleonic wars and into the Crimea war so should be very pertinent to the ACW |
