Two Position Coordinated Graphical Synthesis :

RRRP with given offset

We consider the as yet unknown mechanism

in position 2. We perform an inversion by
fixing the as yet unknown crank and rotating
the known frame to find the position of the
slider-coupler pivot in position 1 for the
inverted mechanism. Since this pivot must
be rotating about the crank coupler pivot for
the inverted mechanism, therefore this pivot
must lie on the bisector of these two
locations of the slider-coupler pivot.
