gun carriages
Artillery wheel frames
Gun carriages are wheeled frames or mounts that support artillery pieces, allowing cannons to be aimed, fired, and transported.
Before motorized vehicles, horse-drawn gun carriages moved field artillery across battlefields.
The term also applies to ceremonial carriages used in military funerals: The casket was borne on a gun carriage.
