Horse artillery—rows of limbers and caissons, each pulled by teams of six horses with three postilion riders and an escort on horseback (1933, Poland). A limber is a two-wheeled cart designed to support the trail of an artillery piece, or the stock of a field carriage such as a caisson or traveling forge, allowing it to be towed.
Limber may refer to: Limber (artillery), a cart used for supporting an artillery piece in transit; Limber (dessert), a Puerto Rican frozen ice pop; Limber hole, a type of drain hole in ships; Limber pine, a species of tree found in the United States and Canada; Limber Trail, Shenandoah National Park, United States
The gun carriage was designed to be towed behind a limber and six horses; the lower carriage comprised a box trail. The QF 4.5 fired a separate round (i.e. shell and cartridge were loaded separately). The barrel was of built-up type, with a horizontal sliding-block breech. A limited traverse saddle supported the elevating mass and a shield.
