POWER OF TEAMS.
If a horse has to work at speed (as in the case of horse-artillery) he can, as a rule, under service conditions, draw about 600 pounds, or carry on his back about 260 pounds, although in some services he is required to do more.
In light field-artillery, where great speed is not expected, this may he increased to about 700 pounds; for heavy field-artillery a further increase may be made.
Metcalfe gives: horse-artillery, 650 pounds; light field-artillery, 700 pounds; heavy field-artillery, 850 pounds; and siege-artillery, 1000 pounds; and the English Handbook contains the following table giving a rough estimate of what teams may be called upon to transport:
| Teams of 4 horses. | Teams of 6 horses. | Teams of 8 horses. | Teams of 12 horses. | |
| Cwt. | Cwt. | Cwt. | Cwt. | |
| Horse-artillery batteries | 20 to 24 | 33 to 36 | ........ | ........ |
| Field-batteries | 26 to 30 | 39 to 45 | 48 to 56 | ........ |
| Batteries of position | ........ | ........ | 70 | 5 tons |
