Summary of the most important pieces according to chapters, paragraphs, plates, and figures.

CHAPTER I.

	P.	Pl.	Fig.
A scoop wheel Schöpff-Rad: a wheel designed to lift water in buckets or paddles with its casing and a separate water wheel.	1.	I.	1.
Driving water screws Wasser-Schnecken: Archimedean screws used for irrigation or drainage by means of a water wheel.	4.	II.	1.
Raising water higher by means of water screws and a wheel.	7.	III.	1.
The same, by means of three screws placed one above the other.	—	—	2.

CHAPTER II.

	P.	Pl.	Fig.
Elevation and ground plan for a machine to drive a bucket-work Kasten-Kunst: a chain-of-buckets machine used for lifting water from depths with horses.	11.	IV.	1.
Two machines with water wheels, shown in profile, for bucket-works and "tuft-works" Püschel-Kunst: a type of rag-and-chain pump where bundles or "tufts" of material act as pistons in a pipe, when the water must be raised higher than the power source or the water wheel is situated.	12.	V.	1. 2.
A machine, by means of a water wheel, to move a large quantity of water, though no higher than the axle of the wheel.	14.	VI.	1.
A bucket-work or machine with a running-wheel or treadwheel.	15.	—	2.
A very light bucket-work with a treadwheel, according to the author's instructions.	18.	VII.	1.

CHAPTER III.

	P.	Pl.	Fig.
On lever-works Schwengel-Künsten: machinery operated by pump handles or balancing levers, or machines with levers, pushers, and handles, which are mostly applied to pipe-works as well as suction and pressure-works referring to suction pumps and force pumps.	21.	—	—
A triple lever, as can be found frequently in the works of Böckler, De Caus, and others, but which is in fact useless. Leupold often criticized earlier engineers like Georg Andreas Böckler and Salomon de Caus for theoretical designs that failed in practice.	22.	VIII.	1.
Three types of lever pumps.	23.	—	3.
A pump with a completely straight handle.	—	—	3.
Calculating the weight of water in pipes.	24.	—	—
A pump with a curved handle.	25.	—	4.
A lever with a weight or counter-balance.	26.	—	3.
On the utility of curved handles.	27.	—	—
A lever with a round disc.	28.	IX.	1.
Sturm's supposed improvement. Johann Christoph Sturm (1635–1703) was a prominent German mathematician and physicist.	29.	—	2.
Pump-work with double levers by Lorini. Buonaiuto Lorini (c. 1540–1611) was an Italian military engineer known for his work on fortifications and hydraulics.	31.	—	3.
Another method by this author for a pressure-work where the barrels Stiefel: literally "boots," the cylinders or barrels of a pump lie horizontally.	32.	X.	1.
A suction-work where, instead of a handle, a spring or rod is used to distribute the load.	33.	—	2.
A pressure-work that is convenient and therefore also very common.	34.	—	3.
A pump barrel, along with all its parts, in profile, according to correct proportions, and how it is fastened and protected when standing entirely in water, so that no impurities can reach the valves.	35.	—	4.
Placing pump barrels above the water.	36.	—	5.
A very simple type of pump, after the fashion of a ship's pump.	38.	XI.	1.
Description of the so-called English pump.	39.	—	2.
A machine where the water is lifted by treading, and thus not merely by the strength of the nerves but also by the weight of the body.	41.	—	1.
A machine with a vertical windlass.	42.	XII.	2.
A so-called horse-gin Göpel: a horse-powered winding engine or whim, by which, in mines, both rock and ore as well as water are extracted.	45.	XIII.	1.
The proportions of a horse-gin at the mines in the Ore Mountains. The Erzgebirge, or Ore Mountains, was the center of Saxon mining and engineering in the 18th century.	46.	—	—

CHAPTER IV.

	P.	Pl.	Fig.
On lever-works as an equal-armed balance beam.	—	—	—
A similar machine, commonly used on ships in Amsterdam.	47.	XIV.	1.
Another kind of lever arranged for the disabled in France, who have neither arms nor legs, or cannot use them, and yet perform work.	49.	—	2.
A machine by the Jesuit Father Solski, with the horizontal equal-armed lever or balance beam, by which he claims to have achieved perpetual motion. original: "Perpetuum mobile" Stanisław Solski (1622–1701) was a Polish mathematician who explored mechanical problems.	53.	XV.	1.
