Comrade,

Might as well go to the source. Try Here:

http://civilwarfortifications.com/library/ordnance-1850/pageregister.html

Scroll down to find page 244-245 and start there. You'll need to wait for each image to load and use the increase view size button on the lower right corner to read it well enough.

Read through it, and if you have any questions (which you probably will) just post back here with them

Respects,

Hallo Kamerad!

Welcome to the AC Forum!

And one answer to your question is: "The AC Forum." ;-)

To break out the Broken Record here.... :-)

One of the strong suggestions (not quite a Rule but close to it) that the AC Forum makes is to "Use the SEARCH Function" button above (especially for questions that are basic and may have likely been asked, and answered many times before).

Such as:
