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

- "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!
