Where is the rotational motion
edit[It says " converts rotational motion to approximate straight-line motion" but] I can't see any rotational motion in the animation. Biscuittin (talk) 22:07, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- The blue bar is rotating around the red point. 121.91.115.139 (talk) 03:32, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- More likely the relevant rotation is of one of the green links about their lower pivot as with Hoekens linkage but since neither link does a full rotation the linkage might be said to constrain linear motion (as with the Watts linkage) rather than convert rotary motion. - Rod57 (talk) 12:23, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

editHello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Chebyshev linkage. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Chebyshev, Roberts, and the Luffing Crane
edit
I've recently been reading through the articles for the straight line mechanisms, and I noticed that the level luffing crane (specifically horse-head jib) more closely resembles a Roberts linkage rather than a Chebyshev linkage. Main reason I have is because the Chebyshev has the point resting on the midpoint of a link, and the longer links are crossed when it travels along the approximate straight portion, however the Roberts linkage already has one of its points displaced to the side and forms an existing triangle, along with the longer links not crossed when performing the straight line movement.
Does anyone have any specific links which explains why the Chebyshev would be more closely related to the luffing crane than the Roberts? Thanks.
As a sidenote, should we give the linkage used in horse-head jib cranes a spot on the list of approximate straight line linkages in the main article? It probably won't need a unique article of its own (similar to the grasshopper linkage which is just merged with the grasshopper beam engine article), but the shape in my opinion is unique enough that it could be a distinct linkage of itself.
