a. Neat drawings showing the progression of starting with a hand (or CAD) sketch of each mechanism and ending with the basic kinematic diagram (BKC) - with just lower pair pin joints. b. For answer a, derive the degrees of freedom of the original mechanism and the final lower pair equivalent mechanism. Describe observations that you can make with respect to CPM mechanism. For example, are there familiar kinematic chains, are there some positive or negative aspects of each design and do you observe some pluses and/or minuses with respect to the assembly and manufacturing of each device? Please comment on the opportunity for improvement of each mechanism. For example, complexity of the mechanical system, location of spring elements and other aspects of the type synthesis process. You may answer this question at a high- level, but with some specificity.
