Transmission of Linear Displacement

Angle between two sliding directions of the blue slider is A deg. Angle between sliding directions of the runways is B = (180 – 2.A) deg.
Transmission ratio of linear displacement between the pink slider and the blue one is 1. When the pink slider moves regularly, so does the blue.
With other value of B, the transmission ratio differs from 1.
In substance it is a translating cam mechanism.
