Image description

The principal study on this sheet depicts, in cutaway, a mechanical boat operated by two men (one obscured by ink dribbled across the sheet). The men seem to be turning a large horizontal wheel, geared to a smaller vertical wheel on a transverse axle, while the man in the stern is leaning against another transverse axle bearing a toothed wheel. A chain running from the middle of the boat to the bow may be some folding mechanism, which would explain the sketch to the right, of a man carrying on his back what seems to be a folded boat. At centre is a figure with a tight-fitting seal around his waist; long faint lines to either side suggest this might be some sort of canoe.
