Most of these drawings where done when the cannons where in relatively
good shape in 1858. To make it easy I have implemented a metric ruler
in supplement to the original in Danish-Norwegian Feet of 31,4 cm.
I have plans to add some text to the pictures later. if you need more
information on one of them, give me a note. The drawings file names
referes to actual folio of the original documents in "Gammelt
skyts" (Old ordnance) from 1858.
