Near-blank verso with show-through of facing mechanisms
Faint reversed impressions of the mechanical studies on the recto (folio 869r)
The e-Leo catalogue records this verso as bearing neither writing nor drawing. The only marks visible are the faint, mirror-reversed show-through of the mechanical studies penned on the facing recto (869r), among them the roller assembly, the great wheel and the wheeled carriage.

Show-through of the facing recto
The surface shows only pale, reversed impressions of the roller mechanism, spoked wheel and two-wheeled carriage drawn on the other side of the leaf. No original line-work belongs to this face; the sheet is otherwise blank apart from staining.
