It has been a while since the latest blog post. Work has kept me fully occupied so there has been little progress since late last summer. However, my article in Journal of the Socienty of Archer-Antiquaries volume 61 (2018) was published recently, so I'll publish it here. Unlike (almost?) all ballista articles mine is focused on practical aspects of the reconstruction. Thanks to Rex Harpham for bugging me about writing an article to Journal of the Society of Archer-Antiquaries and to Arthur Credland for actually making it happen.
The quality of this "copy" is not particularly good, but I'll fix that in a couple of weeks when I get access to a scanner. But this version is at least readable.
