Cart construction: levers clamping the rail to the axle
Red-chalk cart details with two clamping levers and a faint building plan
Red-chalk studies work out details for building a cart, including hooked arms and clamping fittings. A caption explains that a n are two levers which grip the cart's side-rail down onto its axle. A faint lobed plan of a building (pianta d'edificio) appears toward the upper centre, and further mirror-writing is present but not transcribed.

Two levers clamping the rail onto the axle
The note describes a n as two levers which clamp the cart's side-rail down upon its axle. The nearby sketches show the hooked fittings and joints involved in the cart's construction.
Faint plan of a building
A lightly drawn lobed outline reads as the plan of a building noted in the caption. It sits among the cart studies without a developed elevation.
