Abstract
The coupler curves traced by planar 4-bar crank-rocker linkages are examined with the objective of providing guidelines for a new awareness survey. It is found that the coupler points chosen by Hrones and Nelson[1] in the best known atlas of this kind leads to some avoidable duplication and omissions. It is concluded that coupler points should be confined to a circle on the coupler plane having centre on the coupler-rocker bearing and radius equal to the distance between coupler bearings. Five non-dimensional variables are proposed, three of which are discussed in more detail in earlier work[6].
