Design for a conical camp tent
A round tent lettered a-b-c-d, one panel doubled and the rest single, pitched without ropes
A red-chalk (sanguigna) study shows a conical camp tent seen from the side, its sections lettered a, b, c and d. A note records that the a-b panel is doubled while b-c and c-d are single. A separate constructive detail sets out the crown fitting and states that the tent stands without ropes.

Conical camp tent, panels a b c d
The round tent is divided into lettered sections a, b, c and d. The panel a b is doubled (doppio) while b c and c d are single (scempio), noting where the cloth is reinforced.
Crown fitting, pitched without ropes
A constructive detail shows the fittings at the tent's crown and specifies that it stands without ropes (sanza corde), a self-supporting frame.
