Hello, Spiridonov

I read the article you posted of Robert Brooker, and compared it with the "Ancient Weapons Guide", Editorial Grijalbo, Marco Morin.
With reference to the two guns combined with an ax, in Figure 2 are booked on the page number 27, but is said to cubrecazoleta (cover-pan) to be opened by hand, also said that in the first issue are missing the trigger (trigger) The chain of Galle and cobrecazoleta (cover-pan). However, in the caption of Figure 2 (p. 95/10) states that the cubrecazoleta (bread cover) opens automatically, toggle (toggle).
Regarding the weapon of Figure 4, this tab to tab number 46, and said that "the pan (cover pan) is provided with a swivel cap, which is moved by hand. The musket compared with M 5 Museum Artillery Turin, saying that this is similar, with cubrecazoleta stop automatically.
In the text, page 95/10 is said to show the details, including toggle (toggle). However, in the caption of Figure 4, states that the toggle (toggle) is broken by use.

It would be desirable to clarify this issue. Does anyone have any design or photo, to know how it works?

Hola, Spiridonov

He leído el artículo que has posteado de Robert Brooker, y lo he comparado con la "Guía de Armas Antiguas", Editorial Grijalbo, de Marco Morin.
Con referencia a las dos pistolas combinadas con hacha, de figura 2 están fichadas bajo la ficha número 27, pero se dice que cubrecazoleta (cover-pan) debe abrirse a mano, además de decir que en el primer ejemplar faltan el disparador (trigger), la cadena de Galle y el cobrecazoleta (cover-pan). Sin embargo, en el epígrafe de figura 2 (página 95/10) se afirma que el cubrecazoleta (cover pan) se abre automáticamente, con muletilla (toggle).
Respecto del arma de figura 4, está fichada con la ficha número 46, y se dice que "la cazoleta (cover pan) está provista de una tapa giratoria, que ha de moverse a mano. Se la compara con el arcabuz M 5 del Museo de Artillería de Turin, diciendo que este es semejante, paro con cubrecazoleta automático.
En el texto, pagína 95/10 se dice que se muestran los detalles, incluyendo la muletilla (toggle). Sin embargo, en el epígrafe de la figura 4, se afirma que la muletilla (toggle) se ha quebrado por el uso.

Sería conveniente aclarar este tema. ¿Alguien tiene algun diseño o fotografías, para saber como funciona?

Afectuosamente. Fernando Keilty Argentina

I do not know English. It seems to me that there is an error in the description. But it is still a good idea to present the genesis of mechanical wheellock


Greetings to all
