| Geometric Design of Linkages is available as Volume 11 of Springer-Verlag's series on Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics (Systems and Control). The table of contents is listed below.
Each chapter connects to a gallery of electronic versions of the 100 figures in this text representing planar, spherical and spatial linkages and the kinematic synthesis theory for these devices. The line drawings are in black and white. However, the illustrations are in color.
