Abstract
A study of the coupler curves of four-bar and Watt mechanisms is undertaken either theoretically or based on a computer program that is integrated in a CAD-System. This leads even in the case of four-far linkages to some new insights concerning the existence of nodes and cusps. The possible real singularities of non-degenerate coupler curves of the Watt mechanism are determined and by means of our computer program, we demonstrate their difficult structure.
