Two Position Coordinated Graphical Synthesis :

RRRP with given offset

Two and three position slider synthesis using the method

of poles uses the properties of relative poles. To
understand the principles of synthesis look at the slide on
relative poles of a planar body subjected to rotation and
translation. In a slider crank the role of the hypotenuse of
the triangle is taken up by the coupler, which is the link
connecting the crank and the slider block. The pole R12 is
located using the property that (I) relative pole of the crank
and the slider lies at a distance -s412 from and in a direction
inclined at -212 from the fixed pivot of the crank. The other
property used is that (II) the coupler subtends an angle
212 /2 at the relative pole at both the positions. This is used
to locate that moving pivot of the coupler which is both
rotating and translating i.e. the pivot joining the crank and
the coupler.
