Item — Box: Oversize 3, Folder: 12
Call Number: MSS 7, Series II
Scope and Contents:
Ox yoke and adze.
One study shows part of what looks like curved metal or wood, and is very close to a drawing of an oxen yoke, labeled "single ox." To the right is a drawing of an adze, labeled as such. The adze likely belongs to the Shipbuilding series. A 16x17 cm rectangle has been cut from the bottom middle; it may have had drawings for Cranberrying, since the word "berry" is visible at the edge.
