Sheet of mechanical devices with a lazy-tongs linkage
Wheels, cranks, a hopper and a scissor mechanism sketched across the page, with a single word noted
The page is covered with studies of built mechanisms: disc-shaped wheels turned by cranks, a spoked wheel, a hopper or bin, a lazy-tongs (scissor) linkage at the right, and a small circular dial with radiating lines in the upper corner. Only a single word is transcribed — noted at the upper-left corner when the sheet is turned — so the devices are described here from the drawing; a good deal of further untranscribed writing runs faintly behind the sketches.

Cranked wheels and a scissor linkage
Several disc and spoked wheels are shown driven by cranks and mounted on stands, together with a hopper-like container and an extensible lazy-tongs (scissor) linkage at the right. A small circular dial marked with radiating lines sits in the upper corner.
