Four-bar mechanisms appear, in various guises, in many examples of high speed machinery, in which inertia torques may be large compared with external load torques. This paper describes the use of a digital computer to compile standard tables of inertia torques, and sets of inertia torque graphs, for use both in the analysis and the design of such mechanisms.
