I suspect most fixed cannon still in use have fixed firing times; see also <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_O%27Clock_Gun#One_O.27Clock_Gun">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_O%27Clock_Gun#One_O.27Clock_Gun</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noon_Gun">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noon_Gun</a> <br>
<br></div><div>Perhaps a good way of indicating such continuing use would be to indicate firing-time=* ? More informative than simply indicating it is still in use.<br><br></div><div>__John<br><br></div></div></div></div>
