Availability of Alan Wilkins\' JRMES articles?

[samuli seppanen]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I could get Alan Wilkins' articles about Cheiroballistra? They're not available through the official homepage ( http://www.jrmes.org.uk ) and official distributors - neither "Oxbow books" or "The David Brown Book Company" responded to my requests. Also, they're not available in any University library here in Finland, from Amazon, Ebay or anywhere else I could think of. I'd like to read what Alan has to say before I start building my own own manuballista.

Anyways, the articles I'm talking about are these:

• "Reconstructing the cheiroballistra" (JRMES 6, 1995)
  "Scorpio and cheiroballistra" (JRMES 11, 2000)
  

I'm also interested in "Katapulte und mechanische Handwaffen des spätrömischen Heeres" by Dietwulf Baatz (JRMES 10, 1999). Any clues would be most appreciated!

Samuli

Mike would you comment on this as editor?

They'll eventually be posted on the JRMES portion of the ARMES website as we move to open access. If you can't wait for that, contact Alan directly (DM me for his email address if you don't already have it).
