size relations for cannon

What is the size relation for cannons? I was wondering if there is a formula for barrel/trunnion/ wheel relation? IE barrel is 18 inches long/ 1.5 inch trunnions/ 18 inch wheels? or is it just to scale? 1/4,1/2,2/3?
thanks guys!

aaaaaaaa looking for the easy life you can plough through all the old books........research every website........buy every drawing on the market...........and then a new style / museum exhibit / photo will appear.........usually just after you've decided to go with one. find something you like the look of...chase as much info as you got time for............and most important........build it. have a go at it.

John Muller in his Treatise of Artillery 1780 describes just this. Get a copy where ever you can.
Try

first.
Then look at
www.abebooks.com

Then try Ebay. There is a couple there right now.
