Summary

Description
English: On Page 214 of the work in which this image was published, there is a note that says that it was made: 'as far as information could be obtained regarding it'.
The breech that is narrower than the powder chamber shows that this is the experimental Woolwich gun.
Nederlands: Op pagina 214 van Report of the Chief of Ordnance to the Secretary of War staat dat deze afbeelding gemaakt werd: 'as far as information could be obtained regarding it'.
Dat het laadgat kleiner is dan de diameter van de kruitkamer zelf, laat zien dat het hier inderdaad om het experimentele kanon gaat, en niet om de later Mark I/II.
