_Common Infantry Tent._—Length of ridge pole 7 feet; length of standards 6 feet. They hold only 5 men each. Weight complete 27 lbs. _Marquee._—Weight complete,1 cwt. 17 lbs. ridge pole, 7 feet; standard, 8 feet. _TONNAGE._—The usual method of finding the tonnage of any ship is by the following rule: Multiply the length of the keel by the breadth of the beam, and that product by half the breadth of the beam; and divide the last product by 94, and the quotient will be the tonnage. Ship’s keel 72 feet: breadth of beam 24 feet. (72 × 24 × 12) ------------- = 220.6 tonnage. 94 The tonnage of goods and stores is taken sometimes by weight and sometimes by measurement; and that method is allowed to the vessel, which yields the most tonnage. In tonnage by weight, 20 cwt. make 1 ton. In tonnage by measurement 40 cubic feet equal 1 ton. All carriages, or other stores to be; measured for tonnage, are taken to pieces, and packed in the manner which will occupy the least room on board ship. All ordnance, whether brass or iron, is taken in tonnage by its actual weight. Musquet cartridges in barrels or boxes; all ammunition in boxes; and other articles of great weight are taken in tonnage, according to their actual weight.—See also the word _Embarkation_. The following is the tonnage required for some of the most material ordnance stores. _Tonnage of Ordnance._ Nature.
