Excerpt from A Textbook on Steam Engineering
Attached to the piston, and forming a part of it, is the piston rod cb; to the end of CB is fastened, by a joint, one end of the link ba. The other end of B A is joined to the link A 0; and the other end of A O terminates in a Shaft 0, which is fixed in stationary bearings. It is evident that the end of BA which is attached to CB can move only in a straight line; and since the shaft 0 can only rotate in its bearings, the end of A 0 'which is attached to B A can move only in a circle.
