Cluster of tubes on a screw shaft, with dividers
A tapering, funnel-like array of pipes gathered around a threaded axle
The right-hand page shows a tapering, funnel-like cluster of many parallel tubes gathered around a central threaded shaft and drawn together at a collar into a single spout at the base. To its left is a pair of dividers or compasses ending in a hooked point, and faint construction lines of further mechanical parts lie behind them. No transcription accompanies these drawings, and additional faint notes are visible on the sheet.

Funnel-like cluster of tubes on a threaded shaft
Many parallel tubes fan out from a central screwed shaft and are bound at a lower collar that narrows to a single spout with an angled outlet. The arrangement reads as an assembly gathering or distributing flow through a common axle.
Dividers with a hooked point
A pair of hinged dividers or compasses is drawn to the left of the tube cluster, one leg ending in a small hook. The instrument sits over faint underdrawings of other machine elements.
