PE - Berne museum original

[EBM BOREHAM]

To all members of the list,
I spoke to the owner of the "Past Tents" company this past weekend, and he 
said that he had not seen a period example. (Contrary to the rumour on this list)
He did however tell me that his reason for deciding on a spoked design was 
based upon logical conjecture from a period source.
He had seen a period picture in which one man was moving the pole and 
canvas, and right behind him for no readily apparent reason was a man pushing 
a cart wheel. Unfortunately like most of us he could not remember the location 
of the source, but his conjecture was that an army would have many wagons, 
and therefor many wheels and could cut trees for poles and thus would only 
have to carry the canvas.
Those of you who have ever tried to carry your pavillions any distance will 
surely agree that pavillions will only be used in conjunction with wagons!
If any of you know the picture referred to ,please let the list know as I for one 
would like to see it and reach my own conclusions.
