Explanation:

Double Slider Crank Chain:

It consists of four pairs out of which two are turning pairs and two others are sliding pairs.

  • Link 1 and link 4 is sliding pair
  • link 1 and link 2 is turning pair
  • link 2 and link 3 is the second turning pair
  • link 3 and link 4 is the second sliding pair

When link 4 is fixed, the first inversion is obtained. This inversion is used in Elliptical trammel which is an instrument used for drawing ellipses. Each and every point on the link connecting the sliders traces an ellipse.
