Divided bars and weight-boxes with paired numbers
A curved graduated scale over sketches of balances marked 100 100 and 20 50
A faint curved red-chalk scale spans the top of the page, and below it three upright box-like weights hang from short pen bars. A horizontal bar is marked with the fraction 1/6, and further indeterminate pen sketches of balances carry the paired numbers 20 20 and 100 100. The page continues the running study of loaded bars and their divisions begun on the facing leaves.

Weight-boxes hung from divided bars
Three upright, case-like weights are drawn suspended from short horizontal bars, one of them explicitly divided and noted with the fraction 1/6. The arrangement reads as a study of how loads sit on the divisions of a balanced bar.
Paired numbers 20 and 100 on the balance sketches
The lower indeterminate sketches of bars are annotated with the paired values 20 20 and 100 100. The numbers label the opposed ends or loads of the sketched balances.
