Hi Thorbjørn, 

This is a phantastic and very impressive collection. Well done.

Yes, absolutely. Until quite recently, such effective 3D modeling was not possible. If you do decide to make these 3D models from the era of Christian IV available, I will also download them. It is possible that I will also find a use for these models.

@Waldemar, thanks you so much! This does make sense - at least it is completely systematic and, which is more important, practical from a real-world use perspective. 

 

And while your numbers vary from Blom in the outer ranges, as you mention, they are close enough to still 'fit' the known nominal calibers for bore and shot weight.

 

The table you made is really useful 😁

 

Thank you. However, this may not be the final version of the caliber scale, because other combinations are indeed possible, for example, using the Rhenish (Cologne) foot instead of the Danish foot. Nevertheless, the very essence of this method of calculating calibers must be correct, and finding the base values for this construction can be indeed useful in practice. Anyway, I am continuing my work on this scale, and now I am translating the entire passage from Blom's work (pages 100-110), because there he quotes specific readings from sources of the era, in particular specific values from actual gunner's rules.
