Sheet Without Text: Faint Geometric and Mechanical Sketches
Cataloged as bearing no writing; carries pale drawings and offset from the recto
The catalog records this side as "without writings," and no transcription is supplied. In faint pen and chalk it nonetheless carries a circle with an inscribed triangle, a right-angled wedge beneath a semicircular arc, hemispherical bowl or dome shapes, a many-pointed radiating star, and a spoked wheel with a square hub, several of which echo (as offset show-through) the drawings on the recto. A few very faint lines of writing are also visible at the foot of the sheet but are not included in the bundle and are left untranscribed here.

Circle with inscribed triangle and a wedge below a semicircle
A ruled circle encloses an inscribed triangle at the centre of the sheet, and a long right-angled wedge sits beneath a semicircular arc lower down. Both figures repeat those of the recto and are drawn without accompanying transcribed text.
Spoked wheel and hemispherical forms sketched faintly
A spoked wheel with a square hub is drawn at left of centre, alongside two shaded hemispherical bowl or dome forms and a radiating many-pointed star. The forms are only lightly indicated and no explanatory text is given for them.
