Three studies of wheeled light cannon
Faint silverpoint sketches of bombards on carriages with elevation arcs; the sheet bears no text
In faint silverpoint the sheet shows three studies of light cannon or bombards mounted on wheeled carriages, each fitted with a curved arc for adjusting the barrel's elevation, above a hatched crenellated or toothed strip at the top. The e-Leo record notes the leaf is devoid of writing, so no text accompanies the drawings.

Wheeled bombards with elevation arcs
Three light cannon are drawn on carriages carrying a large wheel and a curved arc that sets the barrel's angle of elevation. The catalogue links the studies with catapults and reinforcing arcs. The drawings carry no caption.
