Balanced Rods and Weights on Pulleys
Two tested statics setups: a graduated balance and a pair of pulleys
The upper drawing is a graduated balance beam carrying a weight of 8 on one side against a row of unit weights on the other, with a second bar beneath marked 10, 4 and further figures. The lower drawing shows a cord passed over two pulleys with equal weights of 8 hanging at each end. Brief captions note that both arrangements were 'tested'.

Two weights over a pair of pulleys
