Pen studies of a wing-like frame and mechanisms
Articulated frame with rigging, a spoked disc, and a small clamp
The e-Leo caption notes the sheet had no writing before restoration, but it carries pen-and-ink drawings. At the centre is an articulated frame with curved spars and cord-and-rod bracing that resembles a wing mechanism, joined to a long outrigger rod. At the right a spoked circular disc is fitted with a rod, and below the centre a small clamp with hatched jaws and a lever are sketched. No text is transcribed for this page.

Central wing-like frame with curved spars and rigging
A framed mechanism built of curved spars braced by cords and thin rods extends toward a long outrigger member, its arched form recalling an articulated wing. The construction is drawn in pen with quick corrections rather than a finished machine.
Spoked disc and small screw-clamp
At the right a circular disc with radial spokes is engaged by a rod, suggesting a wheel or pulley. Below the centre a small clamp with cross-hatched jaws and an adjoining lever is sketched separately.
