One of the presenters at the Leeds Food Collegium shared with us his
search for an artifact that would prove the Scappi spit illustration was
a real illustration and not a fanciful drawing or an inventor's plan (a
la Leonardo). He finally did find the actual spit - in a small museum
in either Belgium or the Netherlands - and had photographs of it.
Although it was a little smaller in scale than the Scappi drawing, it
was the, excuse me please, "spitten image".
