ARMOURED TANK
Leo was to say, in his introductory letter to Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan that, “ I” can make armoured cars, safe and unassailable, which will enter the serried ranks of the enemy with their artillery, and there is no company of men at arms so great that they will break it. His turtle-shaped design had a major flaw in that the front and rear wheels were geared to turn in opposite directions. None of the early designs (including Leonardo’s) ever reached the stage of being built.

CIVIL MACHINES
It was just prior to Leonardo’s time that clockmakers first started to explore using springs as an alternative to weights for powering clocks. He even invented and used an alarm clock in which water flowed in a thin steam from one receptacle to another. Many of Leo’s civil machines were labor-saving devices and these included a number of cranes and devices to ease the problems of lifting. Leo was also designed a traveling crane which was mounted on a small trolley and balanced with guide wires.
