The brass gnns were in geueral of the same manufacture and construction as those taken at Dihlī; and in the camp and town (Āgrah) several of the iron ones were of that description called bar guns, and the whole were mounted either on travelling carriages with elevating screws, or on country block carriages turning on a large pivot (Thorn, 190).
