Watt unsymmetrisch

Description

This mechanism is a modification of Watt's symmetrical curve tracer. In this mechanism, there are as well 3 planar links and 4 revolute joints in the plane; however the pivoted links ( apart from the coupler) have different lengths. Therefore, the curve thus traced is unsymmetrical about the vertical axis.
