Thus, link 1 (total distance between ground joints): + Hand-drawn diagram by James Watt (1808) in a letter to his son, describing how he arrived at the design. [ 1 ] A Watt's linkage is a type of mechanical linkage invented by James Watt in which the central moving point of the linkage is constrained to travel a nearly straight path .
The Synth Kit was produced in a collaboration between the Japanese music technology company Korg, the American electronics startup littleBits and the comedian Reggie Watts. [ a ] [ 2 ] The collaboration began in early 2012, when littleBits' founder Ayah Bdeir and Watts met at a TED conference .
In general, each joint of a linkage connects two links, and a binary link supports two joints. If we consider a hexagon constructed from six binary links with six of the seven joints forming its vertices, then the seventh joint can be added to connect two sides of the hexagon to form a six-bar linkage with two ternary links connected by one joint.

Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) is the NATO name for the communication component of Link-16 developed by Xetron. [1]MIDS is an advanced command, control, communications, computing and intelligence system incorporating high-capacity, jam-resistant, digital communication links for exchange of near real-time tactical information, including both data and voice, among air ...
Watt's parallel motion on a pumping engine. In previous engines built by Newcomen and Watt, the piston pulled one end of the walking beam downwards during the power stroke using a chain, and the weight of the pump pulled the other end of the beam downwards during the recovery stroke using a second chain, the alternating forces producing the rocking motion of the beam.
In the late eighteenth century, before the development of the planer and the milling machine, it was extremely difficult to machine straight, flat surfaces.During that era, much thought was given to the problem of attaining a straight-line motion, as this would allow the flat surfaces to be machined.
The oldest still in its original engine house and still capable of doing the job for which it was installed is the 1812 Boulton and Watt engine at the Crofton Pumping Station in Wiltshire. This was used to pump water for the Kennet and Avon Canal ; on certain weekends throughout the year the modern pumps are switched off and the two steam ...
