Preparation should include
- selecting the type of linked mechanism
- using terminology specific to linked mechanisms
- using established schematic symbols to represent moving and stationary features
- laying out the mechanism’s stroke, oscillation, and/or revolution to scale
- plotting the extremities of the mechanism’s stroke, oscillation, and/or revolution
- dimensioning the drawing to display the mechanism’s extremities.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What are the basic forms of mechanical motion?
- Is accuracy as important with schematic drawings as it is with working drawings? Why or why not?
