Study of Planar Ellipse Mechanism

Ellipse mechanism consists of a conrod and two sliders (in pink and yellow) connected together by revolution joints. The slider moves in straight grooves of a glass table. The table is movable and the conrod is stationary.
Input is the pink slider rotating continuously.
Pink and green curves are loci of points of the table in relation with the ground.
Orange curve is locus of a grounded point in relation with the table.
