"Three-part engineering diagram explains a four-link mechanism within a scissor-style lifting assembly. The upper view marks pivots O sub 1 to O sub 3, points A and B, and endpoints T sub 1 and T sub 2, with linked paths and motion vectors. Panel a abstracts links l sub 1 to l sub 5 and associated angles. Panel b shows the four-link geometry, diagonal L sub 1, fixed pivots, and angles alpha sub 1 to alpha sub 4."
