The page consists of three separate geometric cubes described by Houedard as "from a series of battledores: poems constructed from complete alphabets." Handwritten documentation next to the upper cube states "suggest using 3 different weights all lower case" and the cube does illustrate three different pressures on the typewriter.The two lower cubes are made with red dots.
