†5-27 Design a fourbar linkage to carry the object in Figure P5-5 through the three positions
shown in their numbered order without regard for the fixed pivots shown. Use any points
on the object as attachment points. The fixed pivots should be on the base. Determine the
range of the transmission angle.
