Wheeled apparatus and an operated frame
Two mounted red-chalk fragments of machinery; the transcription notes that neither fragment carries writing.
The sheet mounts two small fragments, both recorded in the transcription as bearing no writing, each carrying a red-chalk mechanical sketch. The larger fragment shows an apparatus set on a legged bench: a large spoked wheel enclosed within arched or domed members, with a broad disc drawn below. The smaller fragment shows a square frame mechanism beside a standing figure who works it from a low step.

Wheeled apparatus on a bench
A large spoked wheel is set within a run of arched or semicircular members mounted on a table with legs, with a broad circular element drawn below. The whole reads as a rotating machine, perhaps for grinding or driving. It is sketched loosely in red chalk.
Frame worked by a standing figure
A square frame holding a horizontal bar or roller is shown beside a small standing figure who operates it while standing on a low step. It suggests a hand-worked press, windlass or similar mechanism.
