"3d. Level your guns.—The breech of your metal is to be raised, so as to admit the foot of the bed's being placed upon the axle-tree of the carriage, with the quoin upon the bed, both their ends being even one with the other.
"When levelled for firing, the bed is to be lashed to the bolt which supports the inner end of it, t hat it may not be thrown out of its place by the violence of the gun's motion, when hot with frequent discharges."
—Falconer's New Universal Dictionary of the Marine, 1815
