Features
Clearly laid out model on the uneven reciprocating motion of Whitworth's quick return 
Tesca Whitworth Quick Return Apparatus is used to generate an uneven reciprocating motion with slow feed and quick return. This table model clearly demonstrates the transmission behavior of such a layout.  The input angle is set by turning the crank.
The output stroke is read on a ruler on the slider. The transmission components are manufactured in aluminum. All axles are equipped with ball bearings. Due to its low weight, the unit is easy to carry using the two handles.
