The '''Chebyshev's Lambda Mechanism'''<ref name="Wolfram">http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/ChebyshevsLambdaMechanism/</ref> is a [[four-bar mechanism]] that converts rotational motion to approximate [[straight-line motion]] with approximate constant velocity.<ref name=DOM>{{cite book |url=http://www.designofmachinery.com/DOM/ |title=Design of Machinery |year=2011}}</ref> The precise design trades off straightness, lack of acceleration, and the proportion of the driving rotation that is spent in the linear portion of the full curve.<ref name=DOM134>{{cite book |url=http://www.designofmachinery.com/DOM/Chap_03_3ed_p134.pdf |title=DOM p134 Hoecken linkage }}</ref>
