Manuscript A, dating from the years 1490-1492, is one of the most important works for understanding Leonardo’s engineering thought. In it, he analyses the transmission of motion, gear mechanisms and levers, trying to develop new solutions to optimise mechanical work. His annotations show a mind always searching for innovations.
