Refer to Fig.16.23

\text { 1. Draw two parallel line } l_{1} \text { and } l_{2} \text { at an eccentricity, } e=1 cm .

\text { 2. Select an arbitrary point } O_{2} \text { on line } l_{1} \text {. Measure } C O_{4}=\frac{x}{2}=\frac{1.5}{2}=0.75 cm \text { to the left. Draw } C P_{2} \text { and } O_{2} P_{1} \text { perpendiculars to lines } l_{1} .

\text { 3. Make } \angle \theta_{12} / 2=30^{\circ}=\angle P_{1} O_{2} P \text { in the anti-clockwise direction. The intersection of } P_{1} O_{2} \text { and } P_{2} C \text { produced locates the relative pole } R_{12} \text {. Join } R_{12} B .

\text { 4. Make } \angle \theta_{12} / 2=30^{\circ} \text { with } B R_{12} \text { in the anti-clockwise direction, }

5. Choose an arbitrary point A on the arm of the angle other than the one passing through point B. Join AB to get the coupler. Also join A O_{2} to get the input crank.
