The demise of the pike in the British army

Just read a very interesting article in the latest arquebusier . It would appear from recent detailed research that the pike was not withdrawn until 1707and was in use for standard "line" battalions right up til then, albeit in decrease ratio of pike to shot. Excellent though provoking article.
