IT3103 – ITALERI - PADDLE BOAT Plastic Model Kit
From Their New Marvellous Machines Series
On page 945/r of the Codex Atlanticus, Leonardo drew many devices for the
plan of a mechanical paddle boat.
One or more sailors can alternate working the pedals.
The pedals transfer the alternate motion to a central gear, where it becomes
linear motion, and a series of gears transfer it to the two big paddles
on the sides of the craft.
The central gear is drawn in more accurately on another page, 30/v/, and the
mechanism works through springs hidden in the two main wheels
that alternate.
At the sea-side this craft is also called a Pedalo
