Not 100% sure, but I think you might mean "caisson." It is a two-weeled carriage for a cannon or other piece of artillery. The limber held the ammunition and other essentials for firing the gun, and it also had two wheels. When connected, the gun on its caisson and the limber resembled a skeletal four-wheeled wagon. Two members of the gun crew rode on the limber, and the others rode on the horses. This arrangement continued until artillery tractors began to replace horses for pulling artillery.
