Large Timber Machine with Wheels
A perspective sketch of a wheeled timber apparatus, with smaller screw or jack mechanisms below
A large timber apparatus is drawn in red chalk in steep perspective, its raked beams and struts running across the sheet with a pair of wheels or rollers set low in the frame. Beneath it are two smaller sketches of upright mechanisms that resemble screw jacks or presses. The only writing is the figure 4000 set within the drawing; further faint marks and construction lines are present but not transcribed. The precise purpose of the machine is not stated.

A raked timber frame carrying wheels
The main drawing shows a heavy timber structure seen from below, its inclined beams and diagonal braces converging toward a low housing that carries a pair of wheels or rollers. It reads as a large built mechanism rather than a building. The number 4000 is written within the figure.
Small upright screw or jack mechanisms
Below the main apparatus are two small sketches of standing devices, each with a shaft and cross-pieces, suggesting screw jacks or presses. They appear to be detail studies of parts. No caption accompanies them.
