[Physics -- experimental equipment]
A late eighteenth-century manuscript sheet of experimental physics apparatus drawn in pencil and wash by Alessandro Volta around 1770, likely for teaching or record-keeping in an Italian scientific setting. The pictures are plain framed drawings of instruments on stands, with a few carrying hanging pith balls or suspended parts, which a designer might use as spare, technical diagram motifs.
