I have been playing with linkages, for reasons, and I have come across an amazing number of resources:

• First and formost, Forceeffect Motion by Autodesk.  This is a fun little simulation tool that makes scratching out linkages fairly easy and fun.


• Various Atlases (Atli? Atlae?) of Linkages : http://www.saltire.com/LinkageAtlas/Crank%20Slider.html , http://www.cedarville.edu/cf/engineering/kinematics/ccapdf/fccca.htm

• Design of Machinery the textbook for Mech


• How to Draw a Straight Line from 1877!!!!


• A Mech Class


• KINEMATICS OF MECHANISMS FROM THE TIME OF WATT 1962


• And videos explaining

• Calculate torque of an electric motor


• RMF Calculator


• Toothed Belts


• Puleys


• Torque Calculator
