Faint Leadpoint Studies with a Quadrant of a Circle
Pointed forms and small mechanical sketches; a quarter-circle marked with figures.
A lightly drawn leadpoint sheet, now largely effaced. The only transcribed note, written with the sheet upside down, labels a quadrant of a circle with the figures 11 and 2 2/3. The rest of the leaf carries faint, untranscribed sketches, including tall pointed forms with internal bracing, boat-like hulls, a spindle or top, and small mechanical shapes.

Quadrant of a circle with figures
At what is the top of the sheet when it is turned upside down, a quadrant (quarter) of a circle is labelled with the numbers 11 and 2 2/3. It is the sole part of the leaf that carries a transcribed note.
Faint spindle and small mechanisms
The leaf bears very faint, untranscribed sketches, among them a spindle or spinning-top shape and other small mechanical elements, together with tall pointed outlines and boat-like hulls. Because they are effaced and unlabelled, they are described only from what remains visible.
