Controlling Linear and Rotary Motions of an Object

Linear motion of violet object along longitudinal axis and its rotary motion around vertical axis are controlled by two chain drives. Their driving sprockets are in pink and green.
When two driving sprockets rotate in the same direction at the same velocity, the object rotates only.
When two driving sprockets rotate in opposite directions at the same velocity, the object moves linearly only.
