Info
In the Stephenson's sixbar linkage, two ternary links (in blue and orange triangles) are separated. In Inversion I, a binary link between the two ternary links is fixed. In Inversion II, a binary link of the dyad between the two ternary links is fixed. In Inversion III, a ternary link is fixed.
