Loch Gun or wagon with six horses is 15 yards long. Between guns allow 19 yards when they are in line. Each battery of six guns takes 5 x 19 = 95 yards of front. For manoeuvring, a battery of 6 guns is subdivided into: 2 half-batteries of 3 guns, or 3 divisions of 2 guns or 6 subdivisions of 1 gun and 1 wagon. In Column of Division, or Column of Half-Batteries, each follows the other at wheeling distance. In Column of Subdivisions they follow each other at 19 yards from leader's head to leader's head, or 4 yards from muzzle to nose. In Column of Route, between each gun and wagon there will be an interval of 4 yards. Thus a Battery of 6 guns and 6 wagons in Column of Route would be in length: 12 x 15 180 yards for length of guns and wagons. 11 x 4 44 yards for distances between them. Total, 224 yards. Between Batteries, or between a Battery and any other arm, 281 yards is allowed.
