The gun-carriage, with the right side recoil rope 
attached, is placed trail to the rear on the pack-saddle and 
the protecting pad put under the trail; the wheels, having- 
been taken off the axle, are hung with the large ends of 
the naves inwards on the wheel-bearer and axletree; one 
spoke resting on the axle, and one felloe on the wheel- 
bearer; the latter lying square across the cheeks of the 
carriage under the sponge. The other recoil-rope is 
passed under the upper felloes and once round the upper 
felloes of both wheels and then hooked to. Below, the 
wheels are secured by the wanty. Two sponges, heads to 
the front, are buckled on tight at the trail end and slack 
enough near the front of the carriage, to allow of the 
wheel-bearer being pushed in between the sponges and 
the cheeks of the carriage. One cartouche is placed 
between the cheeks of the carriage, in front of the 
elevating screw. 
* The hair bag, in the above list marked (t) contains the necessaries for 1 mule; it weighs 
filled 5'2 lbs.
