http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86093288

Measured drawing for the spiral surmounting the dome, with annotations in various hands (indicating that this was a working drawing used during construction). The drawing was initially laid out on the verso, which has scored concentric circles and radiating lines and a sketch of the spiral. Key points were transferred through the page by numerous pin holes. A scale is included on the recto.
