This image shows a page from a technical or historical book with a collection of illustrations of various mechanical components and devices, labeled with "Fig." numbers from 1 to 22. It appears to be a plate from an engineering or scientific work, detailing parts of a mechanism or machine, possibly for minting coins given the caption "Monnoyage," which is French for "coinage." There are 22 figures on the page, and they depict different parts, possibly of a coin press or related machinery, used in the minting process: - Figs. 1, 3, 17, and 19 show various cylindrical elements with handles or gears. - Figs. 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 20 depict gears and mechanical components that might interact with the cylinders. - Fig. 8 illustrates a type of flat platform, likely a part of the press mechanism. - Figs. 9, 10, 15, and 16 show different base or frame components that would support other parts of a mechanism. - Figs. 11, 13, 14, and 22 seem to display more complete sub-assemblies of frames with mechanical linkages. - Figs. 12 and 18 are the most complex illustrations, suggesting full or partial assemblies of the coin press with labels indicating different parts. At the bottom of the page, there is a scale marked "Echelle de Pieds," which means "Scale of Feet," suggesting that the illustrations are drawn to scale in French pieds, an old French unit of length. The page is labeled "Pl. IX" at the top right corner, indicating that it is Plate 9 from a set of similar illustrations. The publisher or printer is denoted as "Benard Direx" at the bottom of the page. The overall appearance of the page, with its detailed engravings and style of text, gives the impression of an 18th or 19th-century publication.
