Distillation apparatus and a spherical glass vessel
A folio invisible before conservation, now bearing an alembic still and lamp-like vessels
The single source note records only that this verso was invisible before restoration and, at that time, appeared devoid of writings and drawings. The conserved sheet in fact carries a drawn distillation apparatus: a rounded still set on a square furnace from which a flame rises, with a long curved delivery tube leading to a small round-bottomed receiving flask at the right. A spherical vessel on a handle appears at the lower left and a small spouted box-like device at the lower right, and further untranscribed notes accompany these drawings but are not supplied in the bundle.

Alembic still, delivery tube and receiving flask
A rounded still stands on a square furnace with a flame at its top, and a long curved tube carries the vapour down to a small round-bottomed flask at the right. A spherical vessel mounted on a handle is drawn at the lower left, and a small spouted box appears at the lower right.
