Resource Material

The section contains resource material that could be used by teachers in teaching this topic.  The types of resources provided are:

  1. Handouts
  2. Transparencies

Handouts
For the handouts below their is no return link from them to this page or any other page in the site.  This is because if any one wanted to print of the page there would be no links on it.  So if you do enter these pages then you will have to use the browser's back button to return to this page.

Handout No.1

 The link above is a link to a handout on the different types of cams and followers.

Handout No.2

 The link above is a link to a handout on the relative motions of a cam and follower in a cam and follower system and on the different types of follower motion that can imparted on a follower.

 

Transparencies

In the case of these transparencies the images are saved as animated gifs.  To convert to transparencies copy the image as a gif and then use an animation to save each of the frames of the animation as a file.   This will then allow you to print the transparencies in an overlay format and also allow you to edit them at your own discretion.
