The cannons and artillery included in this survey are all on public display in Greater
London. The hypothetical strike points of the guns have been calculated using ballistics
information and the complementary pairs of photographs are printed on oposing pages.
The simultaneous firing of all these guns is readable as a performance proposal, but one
that is extremely unlikely to happen. The book contains an introduction, an index of
technical information and an interview with the artist by Jon Wood.
