Study of Double Cardan Universal Joint

This is wrong case of a double Cardan joint: the pin axles on the intermediate half shafts (in yellow and in violet) are perpendicular each other.
The joint loses the feature of velocity constant when the input and output shafts are not in a straight line although they are kept parallel each other.
So pay special attention to assembling the intermadiate shaft.
