CONVEYANCE BY BAIL OE ARTILLERY IN INDIA. 
In framing the above-mentioned orders, reference should be made 
to the instructions contained in Army Regulations, India, Volume X., 
Part II., paragraphs 273 to 325, which, however, applying as they do 
to ordinary relief movements only, should onl.y be followed in so far as 
they do not clash with, and may 'be found applicable to mobilisation 
requirements. 
As a further assistance, some of the orders issued by corps exer¬ 
cised in entraining and detraining on the Field Service Scale at Rawal 
Pindi in December, 1891, are now published (with some slight modifi¬ 
cations) to bring to notice points that require attention. They are 
not, however, to be regarded as regulations, but corps should examine 
them and frame their own orders so as best to meet local conditions of 
platforms, &c. 
The times taken to entrain and detrain at Rawal Pindi are also given 
for information.

Notes. —The units that entrained by night had previously been exercised by day. 
The elephant trucks were not satisfactory, and different arrangements for entraining 
will be made after further experiment. 
The platform was 3' 9" high 40 broad at top, and ramped in rear. 700 feet is about 
the length of a 30-vehicle train.
