Quadruplanar-Inversor

The Quadruplanar inversor of Sylvester and Kempe is a generalization^[1] of Hart's inversor. Like Hart's inversor, is a mechanism that provides a perfect straight line motion without sliding guides.

The mechanism was described in 1875 by James Joseph Sylvester (1814-1897) in the journal Nature.
