What Wikipedia says

Lieutenant General Jean-Baptiste Vaquette de Gribeauval (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ batist vakɛt də ɡʁiboval]; 15 September 1715 – 9 May 1789) was a French artillery officer and engineer who revolutionised the French cannon, creating a new production system that allowed for lighter, more uniform guns without sacrificing range.
