\text { 2. Construct angles } \psi_{13} \text { and } \psi_{12} \text { at } R_{12} \text { and } R_{13} respectively such that the arms of the angles intersect at points A and B. Join AB to get the coupler.
\text { 3. Join } O_{2} A \text { and } O_{4} B to get the input and output links respectively.
\text { 4. } O _{2} ABO _{4} is the required mechanism.
