    - Kinematic inversion is defined as a process of selecting different links of a chain to form a frame.

    - Coupled wheels of a locomotive, beam engine, Watt's engine and Watt's mechanism are different inversions of four bar kinematic chain.

    - Reciprocating engine mechanism, Gnome engine, Whitworth quick return mechanism, hand pump etc, are different inversions of single slider kinematic chain.
