Somewhere about page 60, or so, of more than 300 pages is a picture of an honest to goodness 16th century one pole tent. I've given up ronny but if still in it I would carry print outs of that excellent, academic article. I was never able to attend a juried ronny because of advice my one pole lodge would not be permitted.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you will notice on page 64 that the "single pole" within the "tent" has a single peg from each of the four sides of that single pole. What that illustration shows is a "Bell of Arms". The partial illustration on page 64 may be seen in full on page 308, including detail of the pole. The muskets were leaned up against the pegs protruding from the pole. The Bell of Arms was a very small "one pole tent" that housed the enlisted men's muskets in a military camp. They are about 7-Feet tall and about 4-6 feet in diameter. They would work as emergency shelter if a person could sleep curled up around that center pole, but not as a regular choice for housing at an event.

Like bakers we can’t prove the existence of a simple shell of canvas. All the fact that it’s so simple you won’t be able to get it in to a camp. Better then arguing over canvas shape get a wedge and no one can gainsay you.
