Studies of Impact and Weights Balanced over Pulleys
A top row of striking weights, then several weights hung over pulleys
This sheet is given over to drawings rather than continuous text. Along the top run three impact studies: two cylindrical weights meeting end-on, a weighted stick striking a hanging sphere, and a club striking a hanging sphere. Below them are several arrangements of spherical weights suspended by cords that run over pulleys, some cords fixed at one end and others carrying a second weight. A few lines of untranscribed heading text sit at the upper left, not included in the bundle.

Impacts along the top of the sheet
The top of the page carries a series of impact studies: two cylindrical weights meeting perpendicularly, a spherical weight on the end of a stick striking a similar suspended weight, and a club striking a suspended spherical weight.
Weights suspended over pulleys
The lower part of the sheet shows several cord-and-pulley arrangements: a sphere hung from the middle of a cord passing over a pulley to another sphere, and variants in which a cylinder is fixed at one end while a cord from its middle or its other end runs over a pulley to a hanging weight.
