Comment: RE: SHK 15.1466 Thunder
This is slightly out of our period, but in the baroque theatre at Cesky
Krumlov, thunder is produced by a sort of wheelbarrow with a knobbly
wheel. It sounds surprisingly realistic from below.

Comment: RE: SHK 15.1461 Thunder
The cannon-ball-down-the-trough citations are surely correct, and
represent some admirable scholarship by those who provided them. I have
read, but as an apparently poorer scholar cannot provide a citation,
that thunder was also simulated in the theater by grasping a thin sheet
of tin at one end and snapping the wrist to create a ripple through the
sheet that counterfeited the sound of thunder quite well.
