The mechanism is based on sliding link mechanism ABC with oscillating slider 3. Added to this linkage is a double guiding mechanism consisting of two sliders, 5 and 6, connected together by turning pair E. Links 1 and 3 have wheels 7 and 8 wi th sharp- edged rims, which can only rotate about their axes. The mechanism is intended for tracing the roulettes of the centrodes of links 2 and 4. For this purpose a stylus at the centre of pivot E is placed on the curve wi th respect to which the roulette of the centrode of link 2 or 4 is to be obtained. Wheels 7 and 8 are set on a plane table. When the stylus of pivot E is moved along the above-mentioned curve so that wheels 7 and 8 roll along the plane table, any point of plane members G and H, at tached respectively to links 2 and 4, describes the corresponding roulette of the centrode of link 2 or link 4. The mechanism can be set up for various centrodes by adjusting pivots B and C along the corresponding slots as required.
