Studies of Block-and-Tackle Pulleys
Two reeved pulley blocks in red chalk and brown ink; the leaf bears no writing
Two reeved block-and-tackle pulleys are drawn on this verso, each a tall multi-sheave block hung from a hook and threaded with a continuous rope; one is rendered in brown ink over a red-chalk lay-in. The drawings continue the pulley studies of the facing recto. The e-Leo record notes that the leaf is devoid of writings.

Reeved block-and-tackle pulleys
Two tall pulley blocks stand side by side, each with several sheaves reeved by a continuous rope and suspended from a hook. One is drawn chiefly in red chalk, the other reinforced in brown ink. No text accompanies the drawings, the leaf being recorded as devoid of writings.
