Tools for Digging, Gravel-Moving and Demolition

Ox-drawn plough to cut a channel through gravel

A kind of scoop or bucket and gravel is drawn below, captioned with the note that a plough drawn by oxen serves to make a channel through the gravel. It belongs to the sheet's earth-moving repertoire.

Throwing down a wall with powder

The note by the ruined wall says that to cast a wall to the ground one takes powder and does as is figured above. It pairs demolition by powder with the mauls and wedges drawn nearby.

Forks, spades, rake and spoon-shaped shovel

Several digging and raking tools are laid out: forks marked f are labelled 'for gravel,' four spades are lettered K, h, g and l, a rake is marked m, and a spoon-shaped shovel carries the letter q. Together they form a kit for moving earth and gravel.

Tools for demolishing foundations

A figure of foundations, marked 3 braccia, is captioned 'to demolish foundations.' A maul with wedges and a beam with stakes are set alongside as the demolition tackle.

Arched window with tracery and a ribbed half-dome

At the lower left the sheet bears an ornate round-arched window filled with tracery, and beside it a fan-shaped ribbed half-dome. These architectural sketches are not covered by the transcription.
