Weight with neck-yoke 957 pounds Weight complete, without ammunition 1057 " Weight complete, with ammunition 1780 " Length from end of pole to muzzle of gun, limbered 26.5 feet Distance between centres of axles 8.75 " The limbers for the carriage, caisson, and battery-wagon are in every respect the same, except that the two boxes for primers and obturators are omitted on the battery-wagon limber, and its chest is differently arranged inside. [Illustration: FIG. 63.] The limber essentially consists of two wheels, Archibald patent (same as for carriage), one wrought-steel tubular axle, linch-pins and washers, shoulder-washers shrunk and pinned on, three understraps. The limber-body and connecting parts consist of: =The Fork= (1) (_a_).--Central part of body formed of two angle-irons receiving the pole (_b_) and pintle-body in rear. It passes into and is riveted to the double-tree bolt-strap which surrounds and supports the pole. It carries, riveted to it between the flanges, the foot-brace and pole-stop, to which is pivoted the pole-prop hook. In rear of foot-boards is the staple for securing the ammunition-chest. The fork is attached to the axle by axle-straps. =The Two Hounds= (_k_) form the side-rails, and are angle-irons attached to the body by axle-straps. To these on each side in rear of the axle are bolted the primer-and obturator-boxes (_k_). =The Splinter-bar= (_j_).--Angle-iron. Unites the fork and hounds in front of foot-boards. =Foot-boards= (2), =Wood= (_m_).--Rear one riveted to hounds and fork. The front one, to which are riveted three brackets, is hinged by two strap-hinges to the rear one, to give access to pole-prop strap, pole-bolt, and compartment for oil-and grease-cans and tool-box. It is provided with a latch for securing it, when down, to the double-tree bolt-brace. =The Pole, Wood= (_b_).--Leather pad (_e_) on front end. Neck-yoke stop, iron, on under side. The hole in rear and for bolting to the fork is lined with thin brass tubing. It abuts against a plate and is secured by a key. It is partly copper-sheathed.
