Cannon, английский
- Snooker or british term for a "carom"
- Пушка
- The well-known piece of artillery, mounted in battery on board or on shore, and made either of brass or iron. the principal parts are:—1st. the breech, together with the cascable and its button, called by seamen the pommelion. the breech is of solid metal, from the bottom of the concave cylinder or chamber to the cascable. 2d. the trunnions, which project on each side, and serve to support the cannon, hold it almost in equilibrio. 3d. the bore or caliber, is the interior of the cylinder, wherein the powder and shot are lodged when the cannon is loaded. the entrance of the bore is called the mouth or muzzle. it may be generally described as gradually tapering, with the various modifications of first and second reinforce and swell, to the muzzle or forward end. (see gun.)
- [1] in the 18th–19th centuries, a large, smoothbore, muzzle-loading gun mounted on a wheeled carriage. usually classified by the weight of round-shot it fired, but see also “great gun.” the word comes from the latin canna = tube, and a muzzle- loading cannon is essentially a tube sealed at one end to form a chamber. the preferred naval term is gun. [2] today, any large tubular firearm, with a caliber in excess of 20 mm, designed to fire over considerable distances.
- The area between the knee on the front leg, or hock on the rear leg, and the fetlock.

Canopus, английский
The lucida of argo navis, and a greenwich star. also, a city of classical importance, visited by the heroes of the trojan war, the reputed burial-place of the pilot of menelaus, &c. but, as some ancient places have been so fortunate as to renew their classical importance in modern times, so this, under the modern name of abukeir, has received a new “stamp of fate,” by its overlooking, like salamis, the scene of a naval battle, which also led to a decision of the fate of nations. in this bay nelson, at one blow, destroyed the fleet of the enemy, and cut off the veteran army of france from the shores of egypt. the canopian mouth of the nile was the most westerly of all the branches of that celebrated river.
