Segments L and h as multiples of a and b
Lettered lengths with the note 'L h is a multiple of a b'
The folio arranges lettered line-segments with lengths L = 16, g = 8, K = 16, a = 8, f = 4, d = 8, c = 4, e = 4, o = 16, n = 20 and m = 20, with the value 12 noted between rows. A closing line of prose states that 'L h is a multiple of a b', naming the whole-number ratio the figure demonstrates. The study belongs to Notebook K's series on proportion among measured lines, in pencil retraced in pen.

Note: 'L h is a multiple of a b'
Beneath the lettered segments the writer records that 'L h is a multiple of a b', declaring that segments L and h stand to a and b in whole-number (multiple) proportion. With L = 16 and o = 16 against a = 8 and f = 4, the page shows the doubling and quadrupling that such multiple proportion produces.
