A demonstration or museum model of a civil defence traversing cannon

A demonstration or museum model of a civil defence traversing cannon. This bronze scale model of a defence cannon rests on a solid ebony carriage with working blocks and tackle to run the barrel out. It is set on a Derbyshire black marble base inset with a spoked pivot pin in the centre of a circular rail and a second curved rail for the two pairs of trucks to follow, thus allowing the gun to swivel or ‘traverse’ from side to side. It is mounted on its original walnut table with quadrant spandrels supported on four sturdy turned and reeded legs. There is a plaque reading ‘Model Carriage on Traversing Platform for Heavy Ordnance, Col. Tylden, R.l. Art.ly.’ English, circa 1847.
