A chain drive incorporating an eccentric driving sprocket and a concentric driven sprocket is analysed with regard to the output-to-input kinematical relationships and the feasibility of the satisfactory jockeying of the chain on the return span. The output motion is found to have only a low level of harmonic impurity when the input is of constant velocity.
Three methods of jockeying are considered and all are shown to be feasible. Mathematical expressions are derived for the optimum values of the jockey parameters and the relative characteristics are summarised in a table.

This paper synthesizes the five-link mechanism for the maximum possible number of associated relative positions[1] when the transmission functions of the zero, first and second orders are given[2]. The complex number approach is used together with Newton's method of successive approximations. It is shown that when two driving elements have the same angular speed or when a driving and a driven element have the same angular speed in prescribed positions, the five-link mechanism is equivalent to a four-bar linkage of the type shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The method developed in this paper permits the design of a five-link mechanism for a greater number of associated relative positions than the five possible through the use of the four-bar linkage mechanism. The results are applicable i in the automotive and automation industries.

A proximity perturbation method for the kinematic analysis of mechanisms is presented. The case of a six-bar linkage is considered to illustrate the procedure and the feasibility of the method. Convergence proved to be rapid and consistent for each iteration. This is an inherent characteristic in the algorithm method. The method is best suited to computer-aided design of complex planar and space mechanisms.

The aim of this paper is to show the possibilities of applying an analogue computer to the synthesis of a plane linkage, and to propose an optimization method for synthesis of these mechanisms. Comparatively easy modelling of the said mechanisms is obtained by use of the vector analysis method. The optimization method chosen is to minimize the integral of the error. The proposed method is first described generally. A detailed procedure of the solution is illustrated by a band-and-linkage mechanism in which the path of the load should be straight.

Using the method of line coordinates, the input-output displacement equation of the RCRCR five-link spatial mechanism is obtained as a fourth-order algebraic equation. For each set of the input and output angles obtained from the equation, all other variable parameters of the mechanism are uniquely determined. A numerical example is presented, and the accuracy of each set of solutions is verified.
