3.3.1 Example Mechanism

The quick-return mechanism model that was developed in Section 3.1 is used here to demonstrate all of the plotting techniques in this chapter. The model is redefined as follows in abbreviated form.
Note that a parameter crankarm has been added to the model to allow the position of the drive pin on the crank to be easily changed.

Here is the entire quick-return model.
