Wheel proportions?

Can anyone direct me to a 'place' that has the measurement of a cannon wheel? I'm looking for the degree offset of the spoke - hub to rim angle.

These wheel plans are excerpted form AOP Plan book No. 12. If you were to buy one single AOP plan book this is the one I would suggest you buy. This 120 page plan book is $30 plus postage. Go to the AOP Webpage for info on Postage. Antique Ordnance Publishers.

Plan book 12 has plans for 6 guns; 10 PDR Parrot, Model 1841 6 PDR, Model 1861 3 Inch Ordnance Rifle, Model 1841 12 PDR Field Howitzer, 3 inch Parrot Rifle and Model 1841 rifled 6PDR. The plan set also has full plans for a No. 1 Carriage.

The very last page in the book is perhaps the most useful if you are looking to build a scaled down cannon. The last page contains instructions on how to scale the drawings down for small scale guns.
