I was taken aback by observing brakes on the caisson of this French gun. Both the gun and caisson have brakes. So, I assume, they were towed not by horses but by a tractor. So, was this ammunition carriage and corresponding gun (very heavy) moved by horses or mechanical means?
The display is in the front of Numrich Gun Parts, West Hurley, NY, which you antique gun collectors would recognize as an important purveyor of gun parts.
