Clock-like gear train and a note on the word 'caleffato'
A large faint wheel mechanism, a small spoked wheel and rod, and a Lombard vocabulary gloss
A large, faintly drawn circle in the lower half of the sheet encloses two connected spoked wheels, which the transcription's caption identifies as a clock mechanism; above it a smaller spoked wheel sits over a rectangular frame beside a tall rod. A note in mirror script explains that 'caleffato' is a Lombard word meaning heated. A brief accounting fragment, 'he has given,' also survives among indeterminate marks. Further untranscribed jottings and doodles are present on the page.

Toothed wheels of a clock-like mechanism
The lower half is dominated by a large circle enclosing two meshing wheels whose hubs and spokes are only lightly sketched, suggesting a geared train. At the top a smaller spoked wheel rests over a rectangular frame, with a tall rod alongside. The transcription labels the assembly a clock mechanism.
'Caleffato', a Lombard word meaning 'heated'
A short note glosses the term caleffato as a Lombard (northern Italian) word meaning riscaldato, that is, warmed or heated. It is a vocabulary explanation rather than part of any longer passage.
Accounting fragment: 'he has given'
An isolated phrase, 'he has given,' appears among indeterminate figures on the sheet, the kind of running tally of monies given and received that recurs throughout the notebook.
