These carriages must be individually designed and constructed to the specifications of each and every cannon tube that it is designed to carry. Each cannon tube is unique unto itself.

(V) The completed carriages shall be capable of supporting the weight of the Trebager 10" Rodman iron tubes, (15,500 pounds each).
