Five hundred (weight) of plates will make 20 cuirasses of pistol proofe with pauldrons. Therefore one set will weigh 28 lb. Four hundred (weight) of plates will make 20 pair (or 40 sets) of cuirasses without pauldrons. Therefore one set will weigh 11 lb. 3 oz. Sixteen hundred (weight) of plates will make 20 lance-armours. Therefore one lance-armour[64] will weigh 89 lb. 10 oz. Five hundred (weight) of plates will make 20 proof targets. Therefore one target will weigh 28 lb. Twelve hundred (weight) of plates will make 20 pairs (40 sets) of strong cuirasses with caps. Therefore one set of cuirass and cap will weigh 33 lb. 10 oz. Four “platers” will make up 3700 weight or 37 cwt. of plates in one week, therefore one plater will make up 9 cwt. 28 lb. in a week or 1 cwt. 57 lb. or thereabouts in one day. For comparison with existing suits of which the weights are known we may use the following details:-- lb. oz. Paris (G, 80), _circ._ 1588. Cuirass, arm-pieces, and tassets 73 0 Head-piece 22 0 ------- 95 0 Stanton Harcourt, Oxon, _circ._ 1685. Cuirass 25 0 Head-piece 22 10 Arm-pieces (2) 6 0 ------ 53 10 Tower (II, 92), _circ._ 1686. Cuirass 27 4 Head-piece 7 8 Long gauntlet 3 0 ------- 37 12 Tower (II, 92), of XVII cent. Cuirass 24 0 Head-piece 6 8 The whole of this suit weighs 48 8 It should be noted that two of the items in the Appendix are described as of “proof” and one is described as “strong.” The lance-armours are not qualified in any way, but from their weight they must have been proof against musket or arquebus.
