Well it was a university grade TV programme :)  (the Open University in 
the UK, for those who may or may not be interested.  I'm possibly a tad 
strange in that I watch their TV programmes for entertainment...)

I'm sure it was covered in the same programme on four bar linkages, but I 
may be getting confused, and it may have been included at the end in a 
section on 'and these are some other common linkages'

Besides, my interest in engineering is purely in passing, but I like to 
know a little bit about all sorts of things.

Bye for now,
