OKay, I found it, will spend a little time typing it out for you. What this is a what was submitted to The forces of Montcalm and Wolfe in December of 1990. Gary Barker did all of the grunt work on this, we as members of Compangnies Franches de La Marine De la Baye helped out. I should add we broke up the company about 10 years ago. Oh well, we did have a little fun...
There is 23 pages of safety rules and drills if anyone wants a copy I would send it to you. It is quite a lot of work put into it:
1) Assemble "Ressemblez" crew assmebles behind gun.
2) Take Positons "Au canon" Crew takes postions for firing beind gun.
3) Make ready "Appretez le canon" Assistant gunner thumbs vent, mumber one and number two picks up tools, powder monkey takes cartridge from chest and places it in haversack
4) Search "Sondez" Number one searches and inspects bore
5) Sponge "Ecouvillez" Number twp sponges piece and with the help of number one tilts the tube to drain excess water. Number two then inspects the bore.
6) Handle Cartridge "Preniz la cartouche" Powder monkey walks to in front of number one, removes the cartidge from the haversack and hands it to number one
7) Place Cartridge "Mettez la carouche dans le canon" Number one places the cartridge in the muzzle of the cannon.
8) Ram "Bourez" Number two rams cartrige dwon bore in one single motion
9) Pierce Cartridge "Percez" Gunner pierces cartridge with the priming wire
10) Aim "En Joue" Gunner aims, assistant gunners moves trail with handspikes, Numbers one and two assist on wheels
11) Fire "Feu" Gunner fires.
Well that's it, and the most typing I have done since highschool 25 years ago!
Enjoy
