Folding Bed

Edward Jewett

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a mechanical device. The drawing shows detailed technical sketches of a device with two perspective views: a top or side view and a front view. The upper part of the drawing shows a linear mechanism connected to other components. Below it, a more complex structure is sketched, suggesting a rotational or adjustable feature with two symmetrical arms. Dotted lines depict potential movement. Precision in line work and measurement indicates that this image is likely intended to convey detailed engineering or design information.
