[Again,] 3. =The first half Files stand.= 4. =By half file-leaders on the Left-wing, double your Rank to the Front.= Now to reduce this, take the following Method; 1. =Right-wing half Ranks, advance your Ranks.= 2. =Half File-leader take your Ground.= 3. =The first half File stand.= 4. =By half File-leaders on the Right and Left-wings, double your Ranks to the Front, Carocoling to the Right and Left. Then the last half File stand, and the first half file by Carocol in the Right and Left on the wings; then double our Ranks to the Rear.= Here observe the first File must open the half Rank to the Right and Left, the first half File by Carocol. Then =To the Right and Left double your Ranks to the Rear.= Here observe the last half File must open the half Rank to the Right and Left. As for the word _Carocol_, it signifies no more when you Wheel by it, than that it is made by the depth of the Flank of the Squadron, by which Order not the Files, but the Ranks make the Motion. |
