Abstract
Computer-aided graphical design procedures are introduced for the synthesis of equivalent four-bar linkages from existing slider mechanisms. The two-handled block concept is utilized, in connection with two graphical matrices. Several examples are provided to illustrate the conversion of several slider-crank mechanisms into equivalent four-bar linkages. It is shown in each case that the behaviour of the resulting mechanism closely matches that of the original slider mechanism.
