Kinematic synthesis of linkage mechanisms is in a new era. Interactive graphics has allowed designers to optimize solutions from among thousands and thousands of possibilities. This order of magnitude change in the kinematic synthesis method over the "thumb-tack and cardboard approach" is yet another excellent example of computer aided design. The LINCAGES © package demonstrates the modern approach to linkage design.
