Similarity:
pantograph of Sylvester.
The linkage is composed by an articulated parallelogram ABCD, whose vertex A is pivoted on the plane and by two similar triangles BCP and CDQ: the angles CBP and QDC are equals. The points P and Q are correspoing in the similarity composed by the rotation with centre A and angle equal to CBP, and the homothety with centre A and ratio DQ/AD.
