Faint Device Sketches: Pegged Disc and Frame
A faint leaf, mostly show-through, carrying a circular pegged disc and a small rectangular frame.
The e-Leo record labels each folio simply 'Figure', without transcribed text. Much of the sheet is faint show-through and ink offset from the drawings on the facing folios. Genuinely on this side are a circular disc, its rim set with regularly spaced holes and crossed by radiating lines, with a feather-like plume laid across it, and a small rectangular framed device toward the right; further untranscribed sketches remain faint on the page.

Pegged disc and small frame
A circular disc is drawn with evenly spaced holes or pegs around its rim and a feather-like plume swept across its face, suggesting a pinned or geared wheel. Toward the right is a small rectangular framed device with projecting stubs.
Circle divided by radiating lines
The same disc reads as a geometric figure, its circumference marked into equal parts by evenly spaced points and lines running to the centre.
