HI--Can some one help me with this problem? I recenlty purchased plans for a artillery limber chest I want to reproduce. Unfortunatley th copy wasn't very clear.Does any on know the dimensions or a place I might find them? Especially
the different plates used to renforce the chest. thanks so much--

Matt,

The "US Ordnance Manual of 1861" (out of print I believe) and the "Ordnance Manual For The Use of Officers of the Confederate States Army (1863)" both have that information.

Next time you have a question, try the search function. I'm fairly sure this question has been addressed before and in greater detail.

Many thanks,
