Notes
In drawing 124 the middle elevation corresponds with drawing 64 and in drawing 125 the top and middle drawings correspond with drawings 67 (top) and 68 (middle). Drawing 126 is the same as drawing 116 (volume 62/6) which is also a copy of a missing elevation while drawing 127 is close to drawing 117 (another copy of a missing elevation) but without the parapet and sculpted figures on the three bays at each end.
