< < < You're probably thinking of an illustration from Scappi's Opera
(1570),
which shows a couple of mechanized spit, apparently turned by the heat
rising from the cauldron. A URL for he illustration is below. There may be
other information in the Florilegium.

Most other illustrations show spits being turned by hand.

It's either that or something similar. I thin Renfroe had a link from
somewhere or I got an email from her with some links. She actually has
nothing now to do with the picture/sketch.
