Lost Leonardo Manuscripts in Madrid Raise Invention Attributions
A scholar cites two Spain-discovered Leonardo da Vinci manuscripts as potential sources for new attributions of inventions such as a bicycle chain drive and an automatic mill sifter. Dr. Ladislao Reti and Dr. Jules Piccus describe the find as the finest da Vinci drawings, written backward, readable in a mirror, and previously lost during 1800s recataloging.
