“We’ve had some really hard losses and every one of them now continues to pile on the frustration in that room.” “It continues to be tough,” Matheny said. Royals manager Mike Matheny thought Keller gave his team a chance to win but pointed to those strikeouts as a major factor in another difficult day. Kansas City has dropped 11 of 13 and has the worst record in the majors at 16-33.īrad Keller (1-6) allowed four runs and six hits in six innings.įour Cleveland pitchers combined for 15 strikeouts. Amed Rosario, Andrés Giménez and Richie Palacios also drove in runs for Cleveland. José Ramírez had a run-scoring groundout in the fifth for his major league leading 52nd RBI. “Cards fell my way and I just kept executing pitches.” “I know I needed some kind of action, maybe a strikeout, maybe a double-play ball, something like that,” he said. He knew the importance of getting out of the fourth inning. Pilkington was showered with beer by teammates to commemorate the win. The left-hander is taking the rotation spot of injured Aaron Civale. Pilkington, making his third career start and sixth appearance, worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the fourth.
This proved a success, the same techniques were used with complete satisfaction to produce the actual barrel.
THE PILKINGTON GUN CO. TRIAL
A short trial piece was first made to research the chosen techniques for producing the muzzle and ring/stave system. The cross-section, while solving the problems of construction, served to confirm that the original was by no means well made.
An incomplete breech from a similar but slightly smaller gun was cross-sectioned as it proved impossible to deduce the breech construction from its external and internal appearance. Because no cross-section was available, certain assumptions were made about the details of construction. The original barrel was examined and drawings previously prepared by the Mary Rose Trust used as a guide to sizes of components etc. Owing to a tight deadline set by the film company the time available for research and manufacture was short. Techniques were, in general, traditional, and all welds being made in the fire, but owing to the tight schedule and considerations of cost, mechanical assistance was used where possible. The materials used were all recovered puddled wrought iron, rolled or forged to section.
THE PILKINGTON GUN CO. FULL
To produce film footage for a documentary film, being made by Yorkshire Television for the American history channel.Ī full photographic record was kept of all stages of construction, and is accompanied by a comprehensive written report.To produce a gun which would be capable of being fired for the purpose of research into the performance of early wrought iron guns.To research in a practical sense the methods used in the construction of the original.The intentions behind the reconstruction were threefold: The original was believed to date back to the early 16th century. We were asked to reproduce a nearly exact replica of a seven inch bore wrought iron stave gun recovered from the wreck of the Mary Rose.
