"It was used in steam engines to translate circular motion into rectilinear. The full mechanism is shown in Fig. 6, where Watt’s parallelogram is the upper part of it. The machine transforms the circular motion of the point KK through the rocking of the points EE and BB into an almost rectilinear motion of the points MM and CC, which enables a truly rectilinear motion of the piston SS, but with some side tension." I am pretty sure it is the other way around ? https://technicshistory.com/2021/10/10/the-steam-revolution/ https://technicshistory.com/2021/10/10/the-steam-revolution/
