Title	Gribeauval and French Ordnance
Subcollection	The War of 1812/Mexican-American War
Description	In September 1748, Jean Baptist de Gribeauval designed the M1749 Garrison Carriage but only one prototype was constructed. [Fave (1871) IV: 144-5]. This had a unique solid trailing wheel on the fixed trail end of the high carriage cheeks that were built up in a series of steps. Valliere wrote on 30 March 1749 to the Comte d'Eu, Grand Master of Ordnance requesting that the construction of the Gribeauval Garrison Carriage should be funded and evaluated.
