"Damian Siekonic and Don Becker researched John Muller's "Treatise of Artillery", printed in 1780. The only detailed technical drawings for a naval or garrison carriage depicted in that publication were for an English 24 pounder. Although the book's text provides calculations and rudimentary measurements for most of the guns of the time, the two found a more accurate way of devising suitable plans for the size carriage they needed".
German-born John Muller (1699-1784) was, for a quarter of a century, professor of fortifications and artillery at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, the training school for potential officers of the Royal Artillery.
