Antique Ordnance Publishers, their address and phone should be in the supplier's section of this board.

 There are three distinct types of carriage that were used with the Mt. Howitzer at different times. AOP lists all three, Nos. 25, 67 and 68.
Does anyone know what [Research Packet] signifies as listed under no. 67 and no. 68?

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

I think a research packet is a bundle of loose prints as opposed to their usual bound folios.  A call to Don Lutz would get the authoritative answer.
