FIGURE II.

A detailed technical woodcut illustration depicts a mechanical device, likely from a Renaissance-era treatise on machinery. The apparatus is shown in a landscape setting with alphabetical labels (A-P) indicating its various components. At the top left, a man (P) operates a vertical crank handle (O). This shaft connects to a central joint (C) linked to a large, spoked flywheel (A). A vertical rod (D) extends downward to a lever mechanism (E, F, G, I) supported by a frame (M) and a brace (K), with a rectangular weight (N) at its center. A man (L) is seen lying on the ground within the wooden frame.
