The carriage component and names dimensional C = Caliber = The bore of the gun L = length H = height B = breadth T = thickness D = depth Sidewalls sidewalls was made of 2 parts over and under walls ond where splice together and bolted with 5 long irons. The bolts in front and behind the trunnione was also used as attachment for the trunnion cover. one had an eye at the top to a gusset. Breast The breast was a compact piece of wood that went from the trunions down to the fore wheel axel. This was inlaid in the sidewalls and bolted with one bolt in each sidewall. Røstingen This is the front of the sidwalls sidewalls Bunnstykket The earliest carrier had hole bottom before 1750 to lighten the carrier they replaced the bottom with "røstingen" at the back.	From The Drawing	Name of part or measure	Dimension
	a	Measure of length	The Cannons L fra trunnions forkant til druen
	b	behind trunnion	Length = ca. 3 to 4 C
	c	In front of trunnion	Length =11/6 C
	d	Leie for stillholtet	Length = ca. 2 1/2 C
	e	Hole to the "Broge" (Rope to restrict the recoil )
	f	trunnions rest	Depth = 2/3 av diameteren
	g	Røsting	Thickness= ¾ C inlaid in the sidewalls 1 inch
	h	breast	Thickness= ¾ C inlaid i sidewalls 1 inch
	i	breast height	Totale height vary from where the Cannon was deployed
	j		Depth= ½ Caliber
	k		Length =11/2 Caliber
	l	wheel axel	the square part Length = breadth between sidewalls + 1 1/2 Caliber Thickness = 1 1/4 Caliber of this is 1/4 inlaid in the sidewalls underside. Each of the round ends have: Diameter = 1 Caliber and Length 2 Caliber
	m	Frontweel	Diameter = 3 C Thickness=1 Caliber Hullet = 1 Caliber
	n	bricks	reaches almost to the weels lower edge (spare wheel )
	o	Aksel	placing so that the weel is on the inside of the front of sidewall. ca. 1 1/2 Caliber

	s	sidewalls	Thickness= 3/4 Caliber, distance between sidewalls at the top = The Cannons diameter at the trunnione + 1/12 Caliber ordinarily parallel with The Cannons cone.
	t	sidewalls	distance between sidewalls i lower edge is the same as with the trunnione +1/6 Caliber
	u	Bakhjul	Diameter = 2 3/4 Caliber Thickness=1 Caliber, Hullet = 1 Caliber

Dimensjonene til en 24 pundig kanon

Here is an original description of an construction to the carrier for an 24 pound cannon from the middel of 1600 century. In addition is there an column for caliber and one for the desimalvalue of the caliber by using this one can construct the entire carrier from the diameter of the bore and length of the cannon from the trunnions to the back.
