the west are the various drawing rooms, and the third 

 floor is also occupied with drawing rooms, and the 

 private rooms of the instructors. On the left of the 

 main hall a door opens into the rooms containing 

 the museums and collections of the departments. The

 museum, in the cases of which are exhibited the 

 Schroeder models, illustrating the forms and proportions

 Reuleaux collection of kinematic models, which is sup- 

 posed to be the only complete collection on this conti-
