The sheet is rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

...the box rises; 6th, that such a wheel does not send the jib down to the ground where one digs, but the earth itself must come up to the jib; 7th, that such an instrument cannot be moved from place to place; 8th defect, that I cannot raise the soil onto the embankment without burying in great part the instrument that pulls it.

My soil goes by itself into the box, my wheel always turns, my wheel always turns in one direction, my instrument is moved by one man, my instrument throws the heaped earth up two levels.

Here the manner of digging the soil could not be easier; here the movement of the soil to its box could not be made faster; here the mover of the weight could not, in such an amount of time, use greater or readier power; here the transverse motion that unloads the weight cannot be improved. There is the cost of the timber, which is always worth its money, because it does not spoil. But what greater thing can be said of such a task than to say that the soil, of its own accord, leaps from every part of the ditch onto the instrument that has to carry it out of that site?

The instrument, by itself, through a single man, will always walk along day by day behind the work; the box, by itself, being full, will go to empty itself, and thus empty it will return to the place that fills it; and in the time that one goes full, the other returns empty, whereupon it at once leaves the empty box and takes up the full one, without any loss of time.

All the men.

His does not set down the earth except always at a single distance; mine sets it down at two, because one boom is shorter than the other.

Defects of the Pesaro one, which is that it raises the weight higher than needed, and then lowers it to its place, so that because of this the men walk 20 paces more than needed, that is, the 10 extra return them backwards, making 20 paces.

Those who carry the barrows bring 150 pounds of soil onto the embankment with great effort; mine, without effort, bring 400 pounds of it: therefore my two men carry, in a shorter time, a weight 250 greater than the first.
