Blank verso, with faint show-through of the file machine
Recorded as blank; the leaf is tagged with compasses and a stanza 'On proportion.'
The transcription records this side of the leaf as blank — 'invisible before restoration, devoid of writings or drawings.' The image shows only faint marks, chiefly the show-through of the weight-driven file-cutting machine drawn on the recto. The Codex Atlanticus catalogue tags the whole leaf with pairs of compasses and an octave (stanza) 'On proportion,' but nothing of that is legible on this side.

Faint offset of the recto mechanism
The only clearly visible marks are the ghostly show-through of the file-cutting machine drawn on the other side of the leaf — its toothed wheel and bed — with no independent finished drawing on this side.
