Three fragments: a wheeled mechanism and shafted apparatus
Catalogued as without writing; all three scraps bear pen drawings
Three cut-out fragments on blue-grey mounts are arranged on this sheet, all recorded by the catalogue as bearing no writing though each carries a pen drawing. Fragment (a), upper left, shows a wheeled carriage with two large spoked wheels on an axle and a boxlike frame set on small rollers, above which a wavy coiled line supports a small hanging polyhedron. Fragment (b), upper right, shows a tall vertical apparatus with a central shaft topped by cylindrical elements and flanked by angled struts, alongside a slender pillar. The small fragment (c) below carries a faint elongated device.

Wheeled carriage with suspended solid (a)
The upper-left scrap draws a wheeled carriage: two large spoked wheels on a common axle carry a boxlike frame that itself rests on smaller rollers. Above it a coiled, spring-like line hangs a small faceted polyhedron. A separate horizontal beam with fittings sits on a base below.
Tall shafted apparatus (b)
The upper-right scrap shows a tall vertical apparatus: a central shaft rises to grouped cylindrical elements and is braced by angled struts spreading like a trestle, with a slender columnar pillar standing beside it. No text accompanies the drawing.
