The motion of pendulums, when
they move with equal motion,
such pendulums will always slowly, slowly?
come to join together, and in these
joinings, the one slowly? the other,
the one slowly? moves away from the other.

from n . m . will be slowly, slowly? distant from the center . f . remember original: "mēbrā", likely a shorthand for "membrare" or "remember to note". this p... will come to... of equal ... taken

If one of these weights is always given? motion with
equal velocity, the other that follows it will always
follow it with a different velocity; which velocity will be
so much greater as the following weight is closer
to the mover The "mover" refers to the primary source of motion or the leading weight., and it will be so much less fast as that weight
is further away from said mover.

pendulums original: "pēduli"; Leonardo uses this to describe swinging weights or oscillating mechanical parts., motion original: "moto"; the physical movement or displacement of an object., velocity original: "uelocità"; speed in a specific direction., weight original: "peso"; the mass or load being moved., mover original: "mouēte"; the component or force that initiates the movement., center original: "cētro"; the fixed point of rotation or reference., slowly original: "tarda"; indicating a decrease in speed or a slow rate of change.
