Sketch taken from a notebook by Leonardo da Vinci, 15th century.
Design for a rope-twisting and laying machine, taken from a notebook by Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) who was the most outstanding Italian painter, sculptor, architect and engineer of the Renaissance period. He had a wide knowledge and understanding far beyond his times of most of the sciences, including biology, anatomy, physiology, hydrodynamics, mechanics and aeronautics. His notebooks, written in mirror writing, contain original remarks on all of these areas.
