label: Description
content: Three mechanical objects, numbered 4, 5, and 6. The base of figure 4 is similar in design to figure 2 of Plate 1. The object, a solid ball inside a pierced one, is similar to one in figure 3, Plate 1. Figure 5 looks as if it may be fitted inside figure 6. Both are cylindrical in shape, figure 6 with a round bulge space at the bottom. These devices are pointed like tops; figure 4 looks as if it were meant to spin in some manner.
